Rewrite URL

[eluser]namnd[/eluser]
Hi guys,

I am developing a website for a client with CI framework.
I am using .htaccess to remove index.php from all the URLs within the site.
The site is almost finished and the client want to test it on their dedicated server.
So what I got from them is the server login with a dedicated IP address.

I have upload the website to the server, but there is no domain added to the server yet, so I got the link to the website is something like

http://119.31.231.42/~username

The first page is coming up all fine, all images, text from database, everything is working.

But then I click on one of the menu to go to other page, eg
http://119.31.231.42/~username/about

This error message comes up

404 Not Found

The server can not find the requested page:

119.31.231.42/~username/about (port 80)

Please forward this error screen to 119.31.231.42's WebMaster.
Apache/2.0.63 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.0.63 OpenSSL/0.9.8e-fips-rhel5 mod_auth_passthrough/2.1 mod_bwlimited/1.4 FrontPage/5.0.2.2635 PHP/5.2.9 Server at 119.31.231.42 Port 80

I have check and the mod_rewrite was enabled, so I have no idea how to solve this one.

If anyone have a clue, please help.

Thanks a lot

did you check your config.php, this line

Code:

$config['base_url'] = "http://119.31.231.42/~username/";

to be as your server url

[eluser]namnd[/eluser]
Yes, I did so

[eluser]flaky[/eluser]
does it work if you call it like this

Code:

http://119.31.231.42/~username/index.php/about

Thanks flaky, i appreciate your reply

Yes, it works sometimes if I put the index.php in the URL
The thing is in the whole website (all controller, view) I don't use index.php
So I don't really want to fix all the URL

Do you have any other idea?

what does your .htaccess look like and did you set your $config['index_page'] to be blank in config.php?

Yes, I did that.

And my .htaccess

RewriteEngine on

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]


Any other idea, please help
Thanks guys

Try with the RewriteBase set like so:

Code:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /~username/

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]
