After installing CI4 with Myth/Auth on a shared server using cPanel and Softaculous, I get a 404 when I enter a username/password and press Login.
To make it as simple as possible, my test application just has:
- CI4 (4.1.5)
- Myth/Auth (1.0.1).
Things that work:
https://mindstg.xxxxxxx.xxx.au/
https://mindstg.xxxxxxx.xxx.au/public/login
What doesn’t work:
Pressing the Login button on
https://mindstg.xxxxxxx.xxx.au/public/login
A thing that makes it work:
Change (hack) the <form> tag in Myth/Auth Login form (using the HTML editor in the browser)
- from <form action="/login" method="post">
- to “<form action="/public/login" method="post">”
Pressing Login then redisplays the Login page with validation errors:

- for the Login button on the Myth/Auth Home page to work
For bonus points (ie: more profuse thanks
):
Thanks!
