Updated to CI 2.1 and now got problems with the anchor function

[eluser]Freewolf[/eluser]
Hey all,

Using the anchor() function in a few spots on my site.
And after updating (finally) from CI 1.7.2 to 2.1 I am getting a ?/ after the base url. (IE http://www.someplace.edu/?/snazzy_link/)

What am I missing the change to the newer CI?

This is happening any that I am using the anchor() function. Did I miss a change in the .htaccess file? I am not using the index.php.

what's your htaccess look like?
What's your uri_protocol set to?

You have to set query strings to false in your config.

[eluser]Freewolf[/eluser]
The .htaccess looks like

Code:

#When your application folder isn't in the system folder
    #This snippet prevents user access to the application folder
    #Submitted by: Fabdrol
    #Rename 'application' to your applications folder name.
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^application.*
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?/$1 [L]

    #Checks to see if the user is attempting to access a valid file,
    #such as an image or css document, if this isn't true it sends the
    #request to index.php
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]
#Changed from RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?/$1 [L] In order to avoid doubling of redirected URLs

Thanks for any help.

Hey Berk,

That would work however, we do in fact need query strings available as well on our site.
Any other options?

You do not need the top stuff, CodeIgniter now has an .htaccess file in the directories.

Code:

#Checks to see if the user is attempting to access a valid file,
    #such as an image or css document, if this isn't true it sends the
    #request to index.php
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]

Thanks Insite,

That unfortunately did not help with the ?/ after the domain problem with the anchor function.

[eluser]InsiteFX[/eluser]
Did you enable query strings in your ./application/config/config.php ?

[eluser]Freewolf[/eluser]
Yea used that code in the .htaccess file and enabled query strings.
I still get ?/ right after the domain when using the anchor function.

[eluser]CroNiX[/eluser]
Did you try changing the uri_protocol? Try "query_string" and if that doesn't work try the others available.
