htaccess on xampp?

[eluser]Lost_all_hope[/eluser]
I'm just getting to grips with CI, and spent a fair amount of time learning ZF but looking a CI this is more to what my requirements are, but having trouble dropping index.php out of the url, I've followed the instruction manual No Joy, Mod_Rewrite is set up and working correctly, it's working on other test projects.

Using VHOST in XAMPP I have the following:
<VirtualHost *:80>
##ServerAdmin [email protected]
DocumentRoot "C:\sites\ci"
ServerName ci
<Directory "C:\sites\ci ">
Order Deny,Allow
Allow from all
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>

HOST file

127.0.0.1 ci

Project Structure is as follows:
ci/
ci/system (this will be removed once live outside of the root of the site)
ci/index.php
ci/.htaccess (disabled at this point)
ci/user_guide (this will not be on the live site)

I've created a class of application/controllers/blog.php and view of application/views/blog_view.php and changed base_url in config.php to http://ci/

with the above setup I go to http://ci/blog/ it works, moving the Rewrite stuff to .httacess and removing the Rewrite stuff from the VHOST file, restarting Apache I get a 404 Object not found?? unless I use http://ci/index.php/blog/

I wish to put the Rewrite stuff in .htaccess file ready for when it goes live, as I don't have access to the VHOST file on the server, so getting .htaccess working in Development makes sense.

Anybody using XAMPP or a local server using VHOST who has had this issue and over come it could you please let me know how to get it working?

Thanks in advance

What about setting the RewriteBase to /ci/ like so:

Code:

<VirtualHost *:80>
  ##ServerAdmin [email protected]
  DocumentRoot “C:\sites\ci”
  ServerName ci
  <Directory “C:\sites\ci “>
    Order Deny,Allow
    Allow from all
    RewriteEngine On
      RewriteBase /ci/
    
      RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
      RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
  
      RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]
  </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

Hi this part works and dispays in the browser within VHOST file with or without RewriteBase /ci/

That's not my issue the issue is i want to transerfer the above values from C:\xampp\apache\conf\extra\httpd-vhosts.conf of:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /ci/

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]

To a C\sites\ci\.htaccess file at the root of the project
ci
ci/system
ci/index.php
ci/.htaccess

So when I put it on a live web site I only have access to .httacess file not the VHOST file, the problems is when I add the above values to the .htaccess file then remove the above code from the VHOST file, then I restart apache navigate to the url via a browser it says:

Object not found!
The requested URL was not found on this server. If you entered the URL manually please check your spelling and try again.

If you think this is a server error, please contact the webmaster.

Error 404
ci
19/10/2010 13:54:08
Apache/2.2.14 (Win32) DAV/2 mod_ssl/2.2.14 OpenSSL/0.9.8l mod_autoindex_color PHP/5.3.1 mod_apreq2-20090110/2.7.1 mod_perl/2.0.4 Perl/v5.10.1

basically my object is to move the code from httpd-vhosts.conf to the .htaccess file so I then can have URL's of http://ci/blog/ and not http://ci/index.php/blog/

I've tried various methods to get the .htaccess working on this project including a couple of suggestion of this forum with or without RewriteBase on without success.

Again heres the setup:

C:XAMPP
C:XAMPP|APACHE
httpd-vhosts.conf setup in Apache of the following:
## CodeIgnightor
<VirtualHost *:80>
##ServerAdmin [email protected]
DocumentRoot "C:\sites\ci"
ServerName ci
<Directory "C:\sites\ci ">
Order Deny,Allow
Allow from all
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so uncommented in httpd.conf

HOST file 127.0.0.1 ci

C:\sites\ci (root of site)
Site layout:
ci
ci|system
ci|index.php
ci|.htaccess (this is where I want my rewrite stuff to work from)

Any help appreciated

Cheers

Sorted it

after digging further and put my glasses back on :-)

he's how it should be wrote to work with VHOST on XAMPP

httpd-vhosts.conf

## CodeIgnightor
<VirtualHost *:80>
##ServerAdmin [email protected]
DocumentRoot "C:\sites\ci"
ServerName ci
<Directory "C:\sites\ci ">
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>

.htaccess file (root of project)

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -s [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -l [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^.*$ - [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^.*$ index.php [NC,L]

Cheers

I am not using VHOST, just .htaccess

This works for me.

Code:

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

Also removed index.php from Config.php

Hi i use this code:

Code:

httpd-vhosts.conf

## CodeIgnightor
<VirtualHost *:80>
  ##ServerAdmin [email protected]
  DocumentRoot “C:\sites\ci”
  ServerName ci
  <Directory “C:\sites\ci “>
          AllowOverride All
          Order allow,deny
      Allow from all
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

.htaccess file (root of project)

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -s [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -l [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^.*$ - [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^.*$ index.php [NC,L]

If I put http://ci/test, it redirects to http://ci/test/?/test.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
