RESOLVED: uri_protocol's love affair with log file

Hi, CI Community -

Rather than sharing with you in writing the provocative relationship I discovered between the uri_protocol and the log file, I'm going to show it to you on video:

All that does it take you to a solicitation website, don't bother clicking.

the website actually is just a video of him asking some questions... I would answer them but I haven't used CI long enough to have so many issues... but good job on the video and describing your issues hopefully someone with more CI knowledge will take the time to watch it and answer them for you.

Goodluck!

According to the video the site is loading twice. There are quite a few references to this problem in the forum.

Usually what happens is that the problem does not show in the log file. I had a problem once and it was due to a missing favicon.ico.

Solution is to remove all view file script until the problem disappears then to gradually include the script until the loading twice occurs.

Hello, CI Community -

Well, guess what? I finally resolved the double reloading issue where the CI application appeared to be loading twice. The problem lies with only this one line in the css file:

Code:

background: url("../shots/bg_universal_pattern.png") repeat scroll 0 0 transparent;

It just so happens that "bg_universal_pattern.png" file doesn't exist in the shots directory. The file actually exists here:

Code:

background: url("../images/bg_universal_pattern.png") repeat scroll 0 0 transparent;

By changing the word "shots" to "images" the file loads, and the double loading by CI ends.

What helped me to find this problem was reply #1 by WanWizard to another CI user's double loading issue. WanWizard says to use "firebug’s ‘net’ option to see what requests go to your server after you’ve requested the page, and see if there’s something out of the ordinary (like an image URL not starting with assets or captcha)". WanWizard's response can be found here:

Thanks for your assistance.
