Dreamhost .htaccess that works

[eluser]skoots[/eluser]
After some frustration trying to get my site running on Dreamhost (shared) I finally hit upon a winner:

Code:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|public|user_guide|robots\.txt|css|img|js)
#RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php)
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ index.php?$1 [L]

I'm not very competent with .htaccess so this was mainly a brute trial and error effort.

My URI profile was set to AUTO:

Code:

$config['uri_protocol']    = "AUTO";

Hope this helps someone down the line!

I've seen

Code:

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

But I've never seen

Code:

RewriteRule ^(.+)$ index.php?$1 [L]

The main difference being the lack of the "/" in yours. (And the "nocase" and "query string append" modifiers.)

I'm curious to ask, without the slash the way you have it, are you able to correctly access different controllers/functions without a problem?

For example, does

Code:

http://www.example.com/controller/function/param1/param2

work correctly with your setup?
