How to configure a copy of Codeigniter website on a subdomain?

Have you set $config['base_url'] to reflect the subdomain, e.g.

PHP Code:

$config['base_url'] = 'https://www.test.mydomain.com'; 


My base_url seems to be configured OK, since I am able to access  test.mydomain.com, or test.mydomain.com/controller_name.
Its only the inner pages, such as test.mydomain.com/controller_name/anything that cause an error.

This is how my base_url is configured, under config/config.php:

PHP Code:

$protocol = is_https() ? "https://" : "http://";
$host = isset($_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']) ? $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] : "";

if(is_cli()){
  $config['base_url'] = '';
}

elseif(stristr($host, "localhost") !== FALSE || (stristr($host, '192.168.') !== FALSE) || (stristr($host, '10.0.2.2') !== FALSE)){
  $config['base_url'] = $protocol . $host . "/pi/";
}

else{
    $allowed_hosts = ['mydomain.tld', 'www.mydomain.tld','anotherdomain.tld','www.test.mydomain.tld'];

    $config['base_url'] = in_array($host, $allowed_hosts) ? $protocol.$host."/" : "we-do-not-recognise-this-host.com";
}

Hi,
imho, first thing to check, if you set your subdomain as test.domain.com, try to access... test.domain.com without the www which means: comment those two lines
<code>
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST}(.*) !^www\. [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R,L]
</code>
in your htaccess file with an #

second thing i would suggest if this subdomain is a test one, but you may already have done this, create a dedicated db for the subdomain else whatever you change in the db will appear on the production domain too...

hope it helps
have a nice day

Hi,

I tried removing the www, and I narrowed my htaccess file to just:

Code:

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

But the results are the same  

And yes, I did set up a duplicate db for testing purposes. But that's a good pointer. I t would be a shame to mess up the real db!
