Getting 404 erro when trying to load public site

[eluser]dirty[/eluser]
Hey all,

I am having an issue getting a clients public site working properly.

here is the site:

http://www.revolutionchiros.com

the issue is I am getting a 404 error on the index page. The site works fine on my local machines development environment and I changed the base Url in the config, so Im running out of ideas.

Odd thing is, that its just the index returning a 404 you can access other controllers and they seem to work fine.

http://www.revolutionchiros.com/index.php/IndexPage

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

First question:

Is this a 404 page generated by codeigniter or a 404 page generated by apache (or whichever webserver runs the public site?)

As it is a codeigniter 404, check your default controller in the routes config file.

[eluser]dirty[/eluser]
the routes config is pointing to the IndexPage controller which works locally and if i switch to another default controller it works locally as well, but there is no change on the public site? here is the routes:

<?php if ( ! defined('BASEPATH')) exit('No direct script access allowed');
/*
| -------------------------------------------------------------------------
| URI ROUTING
| -------------------------------------------------------------------------
| This file lets you re-map URI requests to specific controller functions.
|
| Typically there is a one-to-one relationship between a URL string
| and its corresponding controller class/method. The segments in a
| URL normally follow this pattern:
|
| example.com/class/method/id/
|
| In some instances, however, you may want to remap this relationship
| so that a different class/function is called than the one
| corresponding to the URL.
|

|
| -------------------------------------------------------------------------
| RESERVED ROUTES
| -------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| There are two reserved routes:
|
| $route['default_controller'] = 'indexPage';
|
| This route indicates which controller class should be loaded if the
| URI contains no data. In the above example, the "welcome" class
| would be loaded.
|
| $route['scaffolding_trigger'] = 'scaffolding';
|
| This route lets you set a "secret" word that will trigger the
| scaffolding feature for added security. Note: Scaffolding must be
| enabled in the controller in which you intend to use it. The reserved
| routes must come before any wildcard or regular expression routes.
|
*/

$route['default_controller'] = "IndexPage";
$route['scaffolding_trigger'] = "";


/* End of file routes.php */
/* Location: ./system/application/config/routes.php */

here is the config:

<?php if ( ! defined('BASEPATH')) exit('No direct script access allowed');

/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Base Site URL
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| URL to your CodeIgniter root. Typically this will be your base URL,
| WITH a trailing slash:
|
| http://example.com/
|
*/
$config['base_url'] = "http://www.revolutionchiros.com/";

/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Index File
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| Typically this will be your index.php file, unless you've renamed it to
| something else. If you are using mod_rewrite to remove the page set this
| variable so that it is blank.
|
*/
$config['index_page'] = "index.php";

dont know what is going on?

[eluser]sketchynix[/eluser]
That looks alright to me.
Do you have a .htaccess file setup on the production server?

[eluser]dirty[/eluser]
i dont. could that be stopping it from routing properly? or does CI require one?

[eluser]sketchynix[/eluser]
I am guessing that there is a mod_rewrite rule on the server that isn't on your localhost. It would be in the .htaccess file. I could be entirely wrong, but it is something to check

[eluser]Jônatan fróes[/eluser]
Test your $config['uri_protocol'] with other options:

Code:

/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| URI PROTOCOL
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| This item determines which server global should be used to retrieve the
| URI string.  The default setting of "AUTO" works for most servers.
| If your links do not seem to work, try one of the other delicious flavors:
|
| 'AUTO'            Default - auto detects
| 'PATH_INFO'        Uses the PATH_INFO
| 'QUERY_STRING'    Uses the QUERY_STRING
| 'REQUEST_URI'        Uses the REQUEST_URI
| 'ORIG_PATH_INFO'    Uses the ORIG_PATH_INFO
|
*/
$config['uri_protocol']    = "AUTO";

[eluser]joedy[/eluser]
Yea you gotta try what Jônatan fróes suggested. try to change
$config['uri_protocol'] = "AUTO" to another one such a "PATH_INFO" or "QUERY_STRING", or "REQUEST_URI", or "ORIGINAL_PATH_INFO"

usually I use "REQUEST_URI"

good luck

[eluser]dirty[/eluser]
have not had any luck with the changes above. would i need an ht access file on dreamhost to get this working properly?

thanks!
