Running CI without mod_rewrite?

[eluser]simonspoken[/eluser]
I'm trying to get CI running on a server without mod_rewrite installed (and it's not possible to get it installed).

Is this possible? I've created a controller called "test", and have visited:

http://mysite/index.php/test

But that tells me "The URI you submitted has disallowed characters."

Any ideas how I can do this?

[eluser]xwero[/eluser]
do you have a method index in the test class?

[eluser]simonspoken[/eluser]
Here is my test.php controller:

Code:

<?php

class Test extends Controller {

    function Test()
    {
        parent::Controller();    
    }
    
    function index()
    {
        echo "Testing!";
    }
}
?>

EDIT: This is a completely fresh install of CI by the way. I've tried 1.6.1 and 1.5.4 so far.

And do you see the welcome message or did you remove that? I suggest you start from an unmodified CI and check after each major change you make if it still works.

[eluser]simonspoken[/eluser]
The welcome message works if i point it directly at index.php (or just /)/ But if I do this:

http://mysite/index.php/welcome

It doesn't work.

[eluser]xwero[/eluser]
try to change uri_prototcol in the config file

[eluser]simonspoken[/eluser]
http://mysite/index.php/test

PATH_INFO - The URI you submitted has disallowed characters.
QUERY_STRING - Loads default route (Welcome
REQUEST_URI - Loads default route
ORIG_PATH_INFO - The URI you submitted has disallowed characters.

Seems as though none of them work

what is the output if you add

Code:

print_r($_SERVER);

EDIT: I had to delete part of the HTTP_ACCEPT line for it to display on the forum, but that shouldn't make a difference

EDIT 2: And just to clarify, I'm running PHP 5.2.3

For some reason you are getting no variables through. If you put and normal php script where the index.php is and then you try index.php?test=1 and index.php/test. Look if it appears in the $_SERVER array.
