Hi I also had problems with a proven CI 1.7.2 app when I added the php5 instruction to 1&1 .htaccess file. The initial problem I had involved a page that ran Google site search. This broke as it has GET info on the URL, and resulted in illegal chars in the URL. Setting $config['permitted_uri_chars'] = 'a-z 0-9~%.:_\-\&\='; in config.php fixed this problem, but resulted in a 404 page not found error.
It seems 1&1's php5 $_SERVER vars do not store urls same way as php4. Because the order the vars are tested in /system/libraries/url.php when $config['uri_protocol'] = 'AUTO' and the way the $_SERVER vars were populated made it work differently between php4 and php5. It became apparent I could fix the google problem by forcing the $config['uri_protocol']= "ORIG_PATH_INFO";
This worked fine for all my pages except the home page when the URL segments were empty!
This was because the IF's employed in /system/libraries/url.php for checking the URL in the AUTO block were not used if $config['uri_protocol'] is set to anything except AUTO.
So I created a copy of /system/libraries/url.php and changed the following snipit around line 107 FROM
Code:
if ($uri == 'REQUEST_URI')
{
$this->uri_string = $this->_parse_request_uri();
return;
}
$this->uri_string = (isset($_SERVER[$uri])) ? $_SERVER[$uri] : @getenv($uri);
TO
Code:
if ($uri == 'REQUEST_URI')
{
$this->uri_string = $this->_parse_request_uri();
return;
}
#$this->uri_string = (isset($_SERVER[$uri])) ? $_SERVER[$uri] : @getenv($uri);
$path = (isset($_SERVER[$uri])) ? $_SERVER[$uri] : @getenv($uri);
if (trim($path, '/') != '' && $path != "/".SELF)
{
// remove path and script information so we have good URI data
$this->uri_string = $path;
}
and saved it all to my applications/libraries folder.
It worked for me. Maybe it will be of use...
