Problem with the controller url

[eluser]tirithen[/eluser]
How come

"http://visarkiv.hinfitt.se/index.php?blog" works and
"http://visarkiv.hinfitt.se/index.php/blog" does not

Would this be a setting on the web-server? Unfortunently it's a commercial server so I can't change any settings.

Hi tirithen,

>>> “http://visarkiv.hinfitt.se/index.php?blog” works and
The above works because ?blog parameter is not used in the standard index.php

>>> http://visarkiv.hinfitt.se/index.php/blog
The above does not work because of some configuration problem. What is intended is the "blog" controller should be set in the following:

./application/config/routes.php

Code:

$route['default_controller'] = 'blog';

Now that you are using sub-directories take the opportunity to using friendly Urls and not use index.php file completely. Try this .htaccess file in your sub-domain root directory. "http://visarkiv.hinfitt.se/"

.htaccess

Code:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    # AllowOverride All
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /

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

    # with a ?
    # RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?/$1

    # without a ??
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1
</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.

    ErrorDocument 404 /index.php
</IfModule>

 
If this does not solve the problem then check the settings in your index.php file and also the "./application/config/config.php" file.

Thanks a lot, and by the way, I'm following the video tutorial for this blog file.

My default_controller is set to blog, if I load http://visarkiv.hinfitt.se/ I'm redirected to the blog controller.

I tried the .htaccess file and the simpler example from the documentation but either way it makes me get an 500 error.

It seemes to me that it's a server confiruration but I might be wrong, anyone else that's using swedish Loopia for web hosting?

Actually it does not matter much to me if I need to use the "index.php?" in the url, the important thing is that it works, but it would be nice if I could take it away.

Now I can't use forms with a "submit" button cause it points on an adress with index.php/blog and not a index.php?blog. Is'nt there some one else that have gotten this problem? It seem to work fine for you others so I guess it's my web hosting.
