I have been using code igniter as a subdirectory of a site and have several instances of if on one server. Each instance is considered a separate application, but all under the same domain name. I am looking to enable a slightly different URL structure though and have turned to mod_rewrite to help me out.
The page is reachable at http://localhost/test but I want to rewrite that URL to appear as http://localhost/en-US/test.
The problem is I keep getting a code igniter (CI) 404. I can confirm the mod_rewrite is reaching the CI index.php, but CI is failing to deliver the correct page. Here's and example setup:
1) Download a new instance of CI and place it in a subdirectory in the site root. Name the CI folder "test". It should be reachable now on a local server at http://localhost/test and you should see the default welcome view.
2) Create a .htaccess file in the server's root web directory. DO NOT place it in the CI "test" directory. Add the following lines to it.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^en-US/test/?$ test/index.php [NC,L]
From my understanding of mod_rewrite, this should allow the URL http://localhost/en-US/test to render what is located at http://localhost/test. It doesn't though. I just get the CI version of a 404. I need help figuring out how to resolve this.
Hmm your question made me install CodeIgnoter and read its routing :)
Anyway have your DocumentRoot/.htaccess like this:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^en-US/(test)/(.*)$ $1/$2 [NC,L]
Then replace this line in your /test/application/config/config.php`:
$config['uri_protocol'] = 'PATH_INFO';
It is by default set to:
$config['uri_protocol'] = 'AUTO';
After this you can open this URL: http://domain.comen-US/test/ to load CI home page in /test/ dir.
You should check out routing. Place this statement in your config/routes.php file AFTER the reserved routs.
$route['test'] = "en-US/test";
You can forget about htaccess when you have Codeigniter (most of the times).

So, I have the current file structure:
ROOT
-> /public
-> /user_views
user_handle.php
user_profile.php
user_feed.php
user_settings.php
.htaccess
As you see, the folder user_views contains a few of the possible views that the client could want to look at. What I am wanting, is for clients that insert the URL http://example.com/user/ to be directed to the page user_handle.php. This handle would act as a root file for all /user/ pages, and it would accordingly split into those pages through numerous $_GET requests.
So far, I have the following .htaccess, but it's not working...
RewriteRule ^user/ user_views/user_handle.php [L]
What could I do to get this to work, so that the url http://example.com/user redirects to the user_handle file in the user_views folder?
Thanks!
I'm not sure I fully understand your question, but it seems you would like to make user_handle.php located under public/user_views act as a "router" for the rest of you PHP files and have all requests to /user/ (e.g. /user/?page=1) be processed by user_handle.php.
If that's the case, your rule seems legit. The only thing I noticed (I might be wrong) is that your .htaccess is located outside the public folder. In that's the case, you need to include 'public/' as part of your rule.
I recreated the folder/file structure you described and it has worked for me using the following .htaccess:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^user/ public/user_views/user_handle.php [L]
</IfModule>
Slight chance this is the problem, but you also might want to double check that mod_rewrite, which is the rule-based rewriting engine is enabled on your server/local environment. It should show up under 'Loaded modules' when you call phpinfo() in any PHP file.
Hope this helps.
What I'm asking for is simply rewriting any URL-given sub-directiories to a PHP URL parameter for nicer looking, user friendly URL.
I know that this is possible using the Apache Rewrite Engine and associated parameters.
The problem on my end is that I do not want to rewrite i.e
mydomain.com/parameter ----------->
mydomain.com/index.php?id=parameter
But rewriting
mydomain.com/subdirectory/parameter ----------->
mydomain.com/subdirectory/index.php?id=parameter
In my root folder I have an .htaccess file for 404 errors and such, redirecting non-existant pages to the main one. During the tests I've done I have deactivated these thinking that they could overwrite the other .htaccess file.
I tried...
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^directory/([^/\.]+)/?$ index.php?id=$1 [L]
...and other snippets similar to that one.
The .htaccess file containing this code was placed in the root/directory folder.
What I wanted to achieve with that was to redirect root/directory/string to root/directory/index.php?id=string.
Since my knowledge of .htaccess and rewriting is obviously limited, I need answers to two questions.
Will a 404 rewriter in the root folder overwrite any other rewriter in a subdirectory?
How do I achieve what I'm after? (much like how url-shorteners work - bit.ly/shortened) from a subdirectory?
This rule should work for you in your DOCUMENT_ROOT/.htaccess file:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(directory)/([^/.]+)/?$ /$1/index.php?id=$2 [L,NC,QSA]
Make sure there is no other .htaccess file in directory.
I have set up a virtual host in my local machine (assume it to be http://local.he). I have a home.php in the main ‘controllers’ folder. I have two subfolders inside the ‘controllers’ folder and they are ‘admin’ and ‘wori’ and each has a home.php file.
Per CI 2.0 structure, if I access http://local.he/module/wori then it should load home.php from ‘wori’ and it is working but when I did the same in the server after uploading the files it always loads from module. Even if I access something like this: http://site.com/module/wori/users, it is still loading the home.php from module.
Here is the .htaccess
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|images|js|css|static)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]
Here is the routing and these two are the only executable lines in routes.php
$route['default_controller'] = "home";
$route['404_override'] = '';
When I try to access http://site.com/module/index.php/wori or http://site.com/module/index.php/wori/users then it works. I checked .htaccess and it is working for other modules in my site. I even tried this example: CodeIgniter default controller in a sub directory not working but this is still not working:
$route['wori'] = 'wori/home';
Can anyone tell me what is missing?
I followed the answer from the following url and it worked for me.
http://codeigniter.com/forums/viewthread/181149/#857629
yet would like to know why it was working normally like in the localhost.
I am stuck into a weird problem.
I have a file at the location /public_html/academics/courses.php
I want .htaccess to mod_rewrite the URLs as below:
Original URL: http://niecdelhi.ac.in/academics/courses/
After mod_rewrite: http://niecdelhi.ac.in/index.php?inc=/academics/courses/
What I want, basically, is to mod_rewrite all URLs to index.php and pass the URL as a parameter named "inc". Then, in the index.php I include the file by doing include($_GET['inc']);
mod_rewrite is working for some pages on the website. and I am getting the URL in $inc. But, it is not working at all for other pages.
For example, consider the two files that exist on the server:
http://niecdelhi.ac.in/academics/courses.php
http://niecdelhi.ac.in/academics/library.php
mod_rewrite is working for the first, the file gets included in index.php
But for the second I get the plain existing file. not the one included in index.php
I hope you understand the problem that I am facing. Please provide me with the solution.
.htaccess file
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !\..*$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} (.*) [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?inc=$1&%1 [L]
Page working: http://niecdelhi.ac.in/academics/courses/
Page not working: http://niecdelhi.ac.in/academics/library/
*EDIT*
There is no other .htaccess anywhere. Although, I have found a clue about what is happening. The problem is happening only in Linux server. The code is working correctly in Windows server.I have a Linux server with PHP 5.2.16.
Also, regarding some pages working and some not. I have found that only those pages are working which have a folder with identical name in the same directory. For example, The academics directory is as below:
academics/
|_ courses/
| |_ mba.php
| |_ mca.php
|_ courses.php
|_ library.php
Now, Since courses.php has a folder with identical name in same directory. It gets mod_rewrite fine. But library.php is not getting mod_rewrite.
Linux server is skipping the mod_rewrite for the files that actually exist. Why so ??
My only guess is that there is another .htaccess somewhere in your structure (most obviously inside /academics/ ) that is overriding the rule for "library".
Could there be another mod_rewriting rule inside that folder that is kicking in for the word LIBRARY and probably messing up your rewriting.
Note that it might also be a native apache issue. For example, in ubuntu, by default in version 10.10 (i think thats it) if you had a /javascript/ folder, it would be short circuited to /usr/lib/javascript or something like that...
Check all possible instances of mod rewrite in httpd.conf, all dynamicaly loaded .conf files, your vhost file and finaly the path of your document root...
I'm new in codeigniter. i have a project running perfectly in my localhost. when i deployed, my links seem to be broken. e.g. mysite.com displays the homepage without any error. now, i have a link let's say an about us link e.g. mysite.com/main/about where main is my controller and about is my function. the problem is the about us link is broken e.g. "Oops! This link appears to be broken." do you have any idea where did i go wrong? thank you for any positive response.
It looks like you have configured your application to remove /index.php/ from your URLs, but I suspect you have not included the .htaccess file to provide mod_rewrite support.
If you want to exclude /index.php/ from your URLs, make sure you follow everything in this tutorial.
Or, to get your site working ASAP, restore the default value of index_page in system/application/config/config.php to:
$config['index_page'] = "index.php";
I'd check 2 things first.
Your base site url is properly configured to either the correct url or $config['base_url'] = 'http://'.$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'];
Your .htaccess file is properly configured and you have the mod_rewrite apache module installed.
You have to make sure the links are either relative to the path or use the base_url() function provided by the URL helper. See URL Helper.
Can you try to use this code below, hopefully it will works :)
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond $1 !^(index.php)
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ index.php?$1 [L]
