error 404 when specifying explicitly the controller

[eluser]sebastien14[/eluser]
Hi,

I am using code Igniter 1.7.0 and enjoy it.
I was working on a local machine (WAMP).
Everything is working fine.
I could access to the welcome controller either thru :
/mysite/index.php/welcome
or thru
/mysite/index.php


When I tried to move it to my remote server (and editing the config file 'base_url' accordingly) :
I was able to acess to the welcome controller only thru /mysite/index.php.

It is not possible to access it thru /mysite/index.php/welcome.


Obviously the welcome controller is just for the example.
All of my other controllers are not accessible either.

Do you have a clue ?

Thanks in advance.
Regards.
Sebastien

I think you've forgotten to update your .htaccess file (done this many times myself). I'm guessing you moved from something like http://localhost/site/ to http://www.yourdomain.com/

If so, you need to change

Code:

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

to

Code:

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

in your .htaccess. Does this help?

I was about to tell the same...but was not confident as i am new developer..but should be a .htaccess problem.

Hi,

Thanks for your responses.
I am not using mod_rewrite at all.

First thing :
-------------

I have remade a fresh installation on another local PC using WAMP.
The mod_rewrite is disable.

Both :
http://localhost/multiQ/index.php
and
http://localhost/multiQ/index.php/welcome

Gives me the correct pages (Welcome to CodeIgniter! ... blah blah blah.)
So not using mod_rewrite does not seem to be a problem.


Second thing :
--------------

On the server the mod rewrite is not enabled either.
I have checked this using the examples given in :
http://www.wallpaperama.com/forums/how-t...d-t40.html

The mod_rewrite is not enabled.

Third thing :
-------------
I have re-installed from fresh the codeigniter with my application on the server.

still
https://www.mydomain/site/
https://www.mydomain/site/index.php
gives me the correct pages connected to the welcome controller.

but https://www.mydomain/site/index.php/welcome
is not working giving me a

The requested URL /site/index.php/welcome was not found on this server.

I am quite puzzled since it can connect to the controller using the url
https://www.mydomain/site/index.php

???

Do you have some more clues ?

Thanks .
Sebastien

Hi,

Another try :
-------------

Just to be sure,
I have just downloaded a plain (and new) CodeIgniter 1.7 code on the CodeIgniter server.

=> same problems

another try ++
---------------

I have also tried all the 4 possibilities in the config.txt :

/
//$config['uri_protocol'] = "AUTO";
$config['uri_protocol'] = "PATH_INFO";
//$config['uri_protocol'] = "REQUEST_URI";
//$config['uri_protocol'] = "ORIG_PATH_INFO";
//$config['uri_protocol'] = "QUERY_STRING";

=> same problems.


Do you have some ideas ?

regards.
Sebastien.

Hi,

Just to finish the thread, I have added a ? after the index.php for this to work.
I found the answer in the troubleshooting.
