HTACCESS - A Complex Problem

[quote author="mddd" date="1279733402"]Why are you doing this in .htaccess? Just change this:

Code:

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/pages/load_page/$1 [L]

back into this:

Code:

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]

and do the routing in your routes.php:

Code:

$route['auth/(:any)'] = 'auth/$1'; // this doesn't change a thing for any url starting with auth/
$route['(:any)'] = 'pages/load_page/$1'; // all other pages go to pages/load_page

[/quote]

Thanks for the replies guys!

Great idea in concept, but it did not work in practice. I made the changes exactly, but now all pages are just going to "load_page" and no URL parameters are being passed through.

I can click any page of the site, and it is just the same controller always being loaded. The auth controller is never touched. I tried changing the single quotes ' to double quotes " in the routing rule, and that did not work either.
