1.6 Default Route

[eluser]JWarren[/eluser]
Can some tell me what I'm missing?

I was moving an unfinished project from CI 1.54 to 1.6 and my default route quit working. After fighting with that for a few minutes, I downloaded and extracted a fresh copy of 1.6.

http://localhost/CodeIgniter_1.6.0/index.php/ == 404

http://localhost/CodeIgniter_1.6.0/index.php/welcome/ == Welcome to CodeIgniter

Obviously, since this is a fresh copy routes.php contains

Code:

$route['default_controller'] = "welcome";

So, what am I missing?

Thanks in advance.

I'm having the same problem. Any help out there?

[eluser]Kadis[/eluser]
*bump*

I tried a completely fresh install and it's not happening.

http://example.com/foo/bar/index.php == 404 Page Not Found
http://example.com/foo/bar/index.php/ == No input file specified.
http://example.com/foo/bar/index.php/welcome == Welcome to CodeIgniter!

PHP Version 5.2.3

I can't figure this out for the life of me, and I'm not that bad at PHP, just really confused here.

Any help is much appreciated!

What is contained in your htaccess file?

[eluser]Kadis[/eluser]
I get the same result with or without a .htaccess file:

But here it is:

Code:

Options +FollowSymLinks
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On

RewriteBase /foo/bar # Where codeigniter resides http://example.com/foo/bar/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

RewriteRule ^(.*)$  index.php/$1 [L]
</IfModule>

I'm running across this issue and wanted to consolidate another post to this thread:
http://ellislab.com/forums/viewthread/70451/

If your application is in a subpath, like site/folder/subfolder/, the URI library's uri_string is being set to /folder/subfolder/index.php. Then the _explode_segments method will create segments[0]='folder', segments[1]='subfolder', etc.

In the Router library, because the uri_string isn't blank, default routing isn't set in _set_routing(). In the _validate_request method, the same segments are used... the file site/folder/subfolder/folder.php may not exist, then the directory site/folder/subfolder/folder may not exist, so the default behavior is show_404().

So, I'm thinking somewhere along the line that the $config['base_url'] and $config['index_page'] need to come into play with the uri_string? I have a simple 'fix' in _validate_request, adding on to the if(is_dir conditional.....

Code:

else
{
     // Does the default controller exist?
     if ( file_exists(APPPATH.'controllers/'.$this->default_controller.EXT))
     {
        $this->set_class($this->default_controller);
        $this->set_method('index');
        $this->directory = '';
        return array();
      }
}

OR you can reset the uri_string after running $this->uri->_fetch_uri_string(); in the _set_routing method...

Code:

$index_page = str_replace( '?', '', $this->config->config['index_page'] );
$this->uri->uri_string = str_replace( $this->config->config['base_url'].$index_page, '', $this->uri->uri_string );

I don't know which is better or if it is more appropriate to rewrite the uri_string in the URI library.

hi,

I'm facing the same default controller issue...Could you please explain me your 'reset the uri_string after running $this->uri->_fetch_uri_string();'code? I don't understand your $this->config->config[]syntax...

I can't solve my issue after patching the router.php file with your 2 lines of code.

thx

As a quick note, I am using a relative url in my $config['base_url']. Something like '/folder/subfolder/'. My $config['index_page'] is 'index.php?'.

So when going to http://mysite.com/folder/subfolder/, the URI library sees PATH_INFO like /folder/subfolder/index.php. The Router then uses the segments created from the uri_string (Router around Line 91). CI thinks you are trying to use 'folder' as a controller, 'subfolder' as a method, and passing 'index.php' as an argument (or it's looking in the directory 'folder' for the controller 'subfolder'). Can you see where things are going wrong?

The only way I can think of to fix it without modifying the core URI directly (because I don't know if what we are experiencing is a true bug or us not knowing some configuration) is to patch the uri_string in Router before segments get created. I gave 2 suggestions in my post.

For the 2nd one that you are asking about... after fetching the uri_string around Line 91 of Router, I am removing the '?' in my $config['index_page'] and then removing my base_url and index page from the uri_string... leaving me with everything after the uri, which should be nothing so the default controller is used. I did it this way so I didn't have to hardcode that info. It's such a simple fix that I swear either we are not configuring something right or else PATH_INFO is not being used right in the URI core.

The 1st option I gave just gives one last chance to use the default controller before show404().
