URL problem

[eluser]Martin Penev[/eluser]
Hello there,

I'm just trying to setup a test installtion of CI. I have tried to run a test function that has been given as a example in the user guide. You know, the one with the blog controller. I've copied and written the desired code and tried to run. The moment I tried to run the script by calling this URL

Code:

http://www.jknight-studio.net/testumgebung/codeigniter/index.php/blog/index/

it didn't work.

Calling this URL works:

Code:

http://www.jknight-studio.net/testumgebung/codeigniter/index.php?blog/index/

The difference is the Slash and question mark. With the slash, it doesn't work. With the question mark, it does.

My Config values:

$config['uri_protocol'] = "AUTO"; used every possible value, still didn't work
$config['enable_query_strings'] = FALSE;

Where is the problem here?

Are you on a Windows server? They can be problematic with this issue.

You might try playing with the "uri_protocol" setting in config/config.php to see if one of the other settings works.

[eluser]Martin Penev[/eluser]
No, actually it's linux.

I tried every possible url_protocol value, still doesn't work.

What else could be the problem?

Does it anything have to do with the base_url?

($config['base_url'] = "http://www.jnight-studio.net/testumgebung/codeigniter/";)

I too am having this same exact problem.

If I change my .htaccess file to this

Code:

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

Everything works just fine. I still would love to get this working though. I am also on a Linux server running CI 1.5.4.

[eluser]Martin Penev[/eluser]
Huh? Did it work? 'Cause first you way it works fine, that you say you would love to get this working.

Sorry I wasn't clear.

I had a problem displaying the standard CI URIs.

URIs like :

http://www.test.com/index.php?blog/view

would display just fine, but if I replaced the "?" in the path with the preferred "/" (http://www.test.com/index.php/blog/view) it would give me 404 errors for every page but the default controller.

I did however find a fix for my server last night on this thread.

Adding:

Code:

<Files "index.php">
AcceptPathInfo On
</Files>

to my .htaccess file solved all the problems.


Hopefully that clears things up.

[eluser]coolfactor[/eluser]
Ah, AcceptPathInfo.... yes, I believe that is enabled on most servers, but occasionally it is not. Good find!
