route - any

[eluser]Ericks[/eluser]
Hey,

I want to route every request to one controller.
I tried this but I cant get this to work:

Code:

$route[':any'] = "index";

anything with something before 'any' works just fine (like $route['product/:any'] = "index", but the above line doesnt. I tried this too

Code:

$route['([a-z]+)'] = "index/$1";

which would be even better for me, but it doesn't work either.

any ideas?

Probably best to use a .htaccess file.

i.e. when removing index.php (assuming you have) instead of this:

Code:

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

do something like this:

Code:

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