Only loading index page

[eluser]TerryE[/eluser]
I have a folder in my main directory named ibewAdmin (ibew.org/ibewAdmin). this folder contains my admin area in which I used codeigniter. Now my main site is not with codeigniter. when I tested it on my local server it works but when I uploaded it to my server only the index page loads. I keep getting page not found. I am not using an .htaccess at all. But I did try it and it removes the index.php but still get the error page not found. Any ideas on what to try?

You need an .htaccess file next to the root index.php of CI (/ibewAmin/.htaccess).

Code:

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

What this does is take the requested URL and passes it to the root index.php as a parameter. CI maps the path segments to your controllers, if it can't find a match it throws a 404.

I tried what you posted but still does not work. Also tried changing

Code:

$config['uri_protocol']= 'AUTO';

and this sometimes I will just get the same page back with out the "page not found"

[eluser]jonez[/eluser]
Have you set $config['base_url'] to include ibewAdmin?

[eluser]TerryE[/eluser]
Yes tried just about every thing. Searched the web and tried all the answers I found and still no luck

Can you confirm your .htaccess is working? Put a redirect in it and see if that works. Depending on how your host is setup it may not be using it. The full file should be something like this:

Code:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

# or maybe this
# RewriteBase /ibewAdmin/

# does this work?
# RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://newdomain.com/ [L]

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

Just tried what you posted and it it working, it did the redirect

Well I found out what the problem was. The anchor tag in my view was Login/validate_user. For some reason when I tested it live the capital "L" in Login was causing the problem. Not sure if it is a codeigniter thing or a url problem using capitals. But I would like to thank you for your help.

This article could explaing that situation, probably.

It's an OS thing. Some (Linux, Mac) are case sensitive where Windows will usually let you do both.
