I've been working on my first MVC-Based PHP application recently, using the CodeIgniter Framework. The project is now ready to go live for my friend/user to evaluate. As per the documentation, I have set the base url to 'http://sitename.co.uk/subdir/'.
When I browse to http://sitename.co.uk/subdir I'm redirected to http://sitename.co.uk/sitename/subdir. My shared hosting has a parent directory containing children directories with the name of each site I am hosting. I believe this is perhaps the cause of this.
I have attempted modifying the .htaccess, on the off-chance that this was overwriting the base url defined in config.php, though this did not appear to be the case. The base_url in config.php appears to have no affect on where I'm redirected to when browsing to this page.
The line for the base url currently reads:
$config['base_url'] = 'http://sitename.co.uk/subdir/';
As always, any assistance is appreciated. I have little experience with web publishing.
Setting $config['base_url'] does not do any redirection check if you have .htaccess it should have this code
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]

Let me inform you this first. This application is working pretty fine on live server currently, however we needed to move it to a different server with a different domain.
Issue is: It gives 404 error on every other page except for index. Loading through index.php works fine.
For an example:
www.test.com/main/login //This gives 404 error
www.test.com/main/index.php/login //This loads fine
Because everything is working fine currently, I made changes only in $config['base_url'] and in database config file. There have been no other changes in any of the files.
Also, this solution provided by somebody in a different questions is already tried out and this doesn't work. Solution is to create .htaccess file with below code & setting $config['index_page']='' :
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]
Current server is VPS & provider is GoDaddy. New server is Shared hosting and provider is GoDaddy. I'm not getting the root cause of this happening, can somebody point out to the possible solution?
EDIT
I'm attaching a screenshot for an error, it's not typical 404 error page. In case this helps.
For Godaddy, you need to alter this 2 things.
In your .htaccess file, replace
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]
With the following:
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?/$1 [L]
Then is your application/config/config.php :
$config['index_page'] = '';
Both this changes should help you resolve your issue.
I've done a search for my question but have yet seen one similar to mine.
I have a newly installed CI on my server, for security reason I have shifted the "application" and "system" folder outside of public_html and into a folder called "app". I tried a lot of methods that the forums were using but none seem to help.
Below is my folder structure, would like to know what to type for the .htaccess and where does this .htaccess go to?
/
app (system and application folder for CI resides here)
public_html (index.php - the one which defines ENVIRONMENT, styles, other htmls and my current .htaccess resides here)
My current .htaccess looks like this:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule .* index.php/$1 [PT,L]
Please help! Thank you for your time!
EDIT
Currently my url is something like this
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/~app/index.php/user/check/id
(it's on a shared hosting but not linked to domain yet and hence the ip address and partition in the url.)
I want to achieve something like
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/~app/user/check/id
and it should work when I link up my domain. (e.g. www.mydomain.com/user/check/id)
Alright, I think I've solved the problem.
This has most probably got to do with the 'unique' url that I have. I assume if it is a normal domain name it shouldn't have so much problems.
My url > xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/~app/index.php/user/check/id
My directory structure remains the same >
/app (application and system directories goes here)
/public_html (index.php and .htaccess goes here)
.htaccess code as follows:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /~app/ << NOTE the addition
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]
</IfModule>
In config.php, set
$config['base_url'] = 'http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/~app/';
$config['index_page'] = '';
That's all!
I am very new to CodeIgniter so obviously I have problem with the most basic things. I have recently tried to implement a website on local environment. I am using WAMP and the website is in www/public_html. Now the website is working on my localhost but if I try to navigate to any other page from the default (default_controler) it returns not found like
The requested URL /public_html/signin/login/ was not found on this server
I assumed that the website was designed to resolve its path related problems by itself. I am obviously missing something very basic.
I have changed the base_url in the config.php file by the way.
$config['base_url'] = 'http://localhost/public_html/';
I have no clue where else the base_url are or where to change it. Any help will greatly appreciated.

You are getting this problem because you don't have your .htaccess file configured correctly. At the document root in your .htaccess file you need the following
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?/$1 [L]
</IfModule>
In your config.php you will need to do
$config['index_page'] = '';
You also need to make sure you have mod_rewrite enabled
ther is a problem with your index.php. check this line
$config['index_page'] = 'index.php';
if it works u have to add an ht access file to remove index.php from ur url
there are a lot of code for .htaccess file on web try using one that suits you
I'm having a hardtime on this part. Well I created a login page using codeigniter wherein the whole path would be http://localhost/CodeIgniter_2.1.3/index.php will be rewritten into http://localhost/login using .htaccess. Well it works just fine but the problem is after I made a successful login and the page redirects to next page using redirect('next_page'); since the URL would be http://localhost/CodeIgniter_2.1.3/index.php/next_page instead of http://localhost/next_page. I also created a rewriterule for that part :
RewriteRule ^events$ /CodeIgniter_2.1.3/index.php/events [L,NC]
and whenever I key in the http://localhost/next_page in the addressbar the page would appear just fine (since I haven't applied any rules on login and on this page.) I also tried using redirect('http://localhost/events'); this also works just fine but still I know this is not the real solution for this. Oh by the way my .htaccess exists on the www folder of wampserver. Any way to solve this?
First of all your domain ROOT folder should be the codeigniter folder
forexample
c:/www/codeigniter_2.1.3/
just move the files from the codeigniter_2.1.3 to your root folder OR make the codeigniter folder ROOT.
Then use just normal .htaccess rewrite as:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|images|robots\.txt|css)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]
And use the Codeigniter ROUTER to make your pages as you want them
example:
$route['login'] = 'welcome/login';
Will set http://localhost/login page to be loaded from the Welcome controler Login function.
You can set $routes at your routes.php in the config folder.
P.S> If you want not to see index.php on each page check your Config/config.php for the index_page and make it blank.
You might just want to add virtual host to your localhost. here is one step by step explanation on how to do that.
now all you have to do is create an .htaccess file inside your CodeIgniter_2.1.3 folder that will remove only the index.php in the url.
I have a site which I have converted to use cms made simple. It works perfectly and I have the friendly urls working fine too. My issue is with a little script I wrote myself and how best to integrate it. The script is a gallery script, it reads a directory and outputs a formatted gallery in html. I was planning on making it a user defined tag in cms made simple but I hit a small snag.
The gallery script needs to be able to read in two values from the url groupId and showpage.
If I am using freindly urls then the cms and use the tag I hit a snag as the cms tries to find an actual page at "www.mysite.com/gallery/mygroup/2" and then throws a 404.
basically I need
http://www.mysite.com/gallery/photogroup/2
rewritten to
http://www.mysite.com/gallery.php?groupId=photogroup&showpage=2
UPDATE
Follwoing Yuri's advice I added his rule to the htaccess. But I have hit another snag.
So for instance if we go to
http://www.mysite.com/gallery/photogroup/2
then Yuri's rule should take effect. But that path is also a correct physical directory on my site coincidentally. Is there a way to have the rewrite rule take effect instead of bringing me to a white screen browsing the files in the directory or to the forbidden screen if I have indexes turned off which I do.
Below is my htaccess
php_flag magic_quotes_gpc Off
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?/$1
RewriteRule ^gallery/(\w+)/(\d+)$ gallery.php?groupId=$1&showpage=$2 [QSA,L]
So, did you try to write in .htaccess something like this?
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond ${REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond ${REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^gallery/(\w+)/(\d+)$ gallery.php?groupId=$1&showpage=$2 [QSA,L]
sounds like a "module" to me. Maybe this Make your module use clean URLs
