CodeIgniter on Dreamhost

[eluser]Unknown[/eluser]
I had some trouble initially setting it up on dreamhost. You should probably move your server to php5 in prep for CI 2.0 anyway. My current setup uses php5. I use mod-rewrite to remove the index.php. It took a while to get the right rewrite rule. When doing that you need to make sure to remove the 'index.php' from the index_page variable in config.php. The .htaccess I use is as follows:

Code:

RewriteEngine on

## Route everything through /index.php except for the pages in the following expression  - note '.' are escaped '\.' ##
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|robots\.txt|favicon\.ico)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?$1 [L,QSA]
