I found the reason why this fails...
In the function, _set_route_mapping(), on line 94(ish):
Code:
$this->uri_string = $this->_get_uri_string();
with .htaccess empty, this returns "".
when I add that line to .htaccess, $this->uri_string returns "admin/index.php".
The following line of CI code is:
Code:
if ($this->uri_string == '')
{
the existance of /admin/index.php forces additional processing where when it is '', the default controller is selected and everything is dandy.
not sure why it is coming through for php5 and not php4...
The saga continues...
