Ok, so I started over with this because XAMPP 1.7.3 was giving me errors from the control panel. One thing I didn't note is that I'm only trying to get this set up on my local environment.
I installed a fresh copy of XAMPP 1.7.0 and created the directory "www" under htdocs as suggested above. I've put the install of CI into this directory so it's localhost/www/index.php, localhost/www/systems, etc.
Again, the config.php is default but for the following two lines:
Code:
$config['base_url'] = "http://localhost/www/";
$config['index_page'] = "";
I followed the tutorial here:
http://codeigniter.com/wiki/mod_rewrite/
I tried the following in the .htaccess file located in "www":
Code:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /www/
#Removes access to the system folder by users.
#Additionally this will allow you to create a System.php controller,
#previously this would not have been possible.
#'system' can be replaced if you have renamed your system folder.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^system.*
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?/$1 [L]
#When your application folder isn't in the system folder
#This snippet prevents user access to the application folder
#Submitted by: Fabdrol
#Rename 'application' to your applications folder name.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^application.*
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?/$1 [L]
#Checks to see if the user is attempting to access a valid file,
#such as an image or css document, if this isn't true it sends the
#request to index.php
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?/$1 [L]
</IfModule>
<IfModule !mod_rewrite.c>
# If we don't have mod_rewrite installed, all 404's
# can be sent to index.php, and everything works as normal.
# Submitted by: ElliotHaughin
ErrorDocument 404 /index.php
</IfModule>
and
Code:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /www/
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|images|scripts|css|robots\.txt)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]
These are the settings I've tried in httpd.conf
Code:
<Directory "C:/Documents and Settings/Nick Staroba/My Documents/My Work/Web Design/X2/htdocs">
Options Indexes Includes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride AuthConfig FileInfo
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
and
Code:
<Directory "C:/Documents and Settings/Nick Staroba/My Documents/My Work/Web Design/X2/htdocs">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes ExecCGI
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
Still getting errors 500 and 404 errors depending on which files I'm using...
Is
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/rewrite/a good place to study up on this?
