URI Troubles

[eluser]stuffradio[/eluser]
For some reason, I get a lot of this message

The URI you submitted has disallowed characters.

and sometimes this message

Message: preg_match() [function.preg-match]: Compilation failed: range out of order in character class at offset 19

The url is http://localhost/urls/register

htaccess file is

Code:

Options +FollowSymLinks
Options -Indexes
DirectoryIndex index.php
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|resources|images|css|js|robots\.txt|favicon\.ico)
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?/$1 [L,QSA]

index page is blank

Allowed characters:

Code:

$config['permitted_uri_chars'] = 'a-z 0-9~%.:_\-';

Routes

Code:

$route['default_controller'] = "followurl";
$route['followurl'] = "followurl";
$route['settings'] = "settings";
$route['urls'] = "urls";
$route['user'] = "user";
$route['scaffolding_trigger'] = "";
$route[':any'] = 'urls/getpage/$1';

What I want is, anytime I don't have any of those controllers in the routes page, it should redirect using the :any route. This is for a short url script I'm doing.

you have a question mark in the last line of your .htaccess

[eluser]stuffradio[/eluser]
That fixed some of the problem (I copied and pasted that htaccess file)

The URL that I listed above still has the same problem though. Any thoughts?

[eluser]xwero[/eluser]
your any route is not fetched so $1 will not be undefined. you need to add parenthesis.

[eluser]stuffradio[/eluser]
Can you show me?

[eluser]xwero[/eluser]
(:any)

[eluser]stuffradio[/eluser]
When I have this line uncommented

Code:

$route['(:any)'] = 'urls/getpage/$1';

It gives me the error message

The URI you submitted has disallowed characters.

When it's commented,all the pages except for the short url page works. So do you have any ideas how I can fix this?

Hi,

Change the single quotes to double quotes:

Code:

$route['(:any)'] = "urls/getpage/$1";

If you use single quotes the variables are not interpolated, so you are requesting a page called $1, instead of the value of the $1 variable.

[eluser]stuffradio[/eluser]
No dice, it still gives me the annoying error.

So can anyone give me pointers on htaccess files that would work for all servers and how to setup my routes to work the way I want them to?
