codeigniter overriding cpanel's 'web protect' ?

[eluser]alpineedge3[/eluser]
hi,

I have my codeigniter URIs setup like domain.com/controller, however i also have some real directories (off the framework) that are accessed by domain.com/directory too. i can access both directories and framework controllers, except when I use cpanel's "web-protect" to add .htpasswd protection for a directory.

when i go to domain.com/[protected_directory], i get a codeigniter 404. is there anyway to make the protected directory url avoid getting routed to codeigniter?

thanks

Are you using an .htaccess for url override or to remove the index.php from the url?

[eluser]alpineedge3[/eluser]
yes my .htaccess does remove the index.php from the url.

[eluser]Jagar[/eluser]
try the following:

Code:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|images|web-protect|robots\.txt)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L]

[eluser]Jagar[/eluser]
In the rewritecond add the directory that you do not want codeigniter to treat it as a controller

thanks for your replies. i tried inserting the lines. this is my .htaccess file:

Code:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|images|web-protect|tutor|npscorer|robots\.txt)
    RewriteRule ^(.+)$ index.php?$1 [L]
</IfModule>

<IfModule !mod_rewrite.c>
    ErrorDocument 404 /index.php
</IfModule>

it still doesn't work. when I comment out the first two RewriteCond lines, my css files don't load and the protected directories address still bring up a codeigniter 404.

any other suggestions? thanks in advance.

What happen when you don't comment the first two rewriteconds? Does it still gives you a 404 for web-protect folder?

Also have you tried commenting RewriteBase / ?

I'm on a shared host with hostmonster and it's apache 2 as the server and on linux and the following is how my .htaccess file looks like.

Code:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|images|css|scripts|bmusic|user_guide|robots\.txt)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?/$1 [L]

ErrorDocument 404 /error

I don't have <Ifmodule... in place, and everything is working fine.

[eluser]alpineedge3[/eluser]
i've tried uncommenting all the lines, some lines, etc. taking out <ifmodule>'s, etc. i'm using apache2 on a shared host as well. Does anyone use cPanel's web-protect feature for directories in the same level as with codeigniter?

that is-

[apache2path]/www/index.php <== CI index
[apache2path]/www/[a non-protected directory] (this lists the folder's file tree just fine)
[apache2path]/www/[web-protected directory] (this brings up CI's default 404)
[apache2path]/www/system <= standard CI system directory

thanks
