codeigniter and htaccess - .htaccess

I recently moved a functional codeigniter application to a new hosting provider and am running into what I think are challenges similar to this topic. To summarize, my $_SERVER['PATH_INFO'] and $_SERVER['ORIG_PATH_INFO'] values are not being set unless I include the index.php reference in the URL. I'm assuming this means that my .htaccess may be the culprit or a combination of issues. Here's what I've done:
I edited codeigniter's config.php file to remove the index.php reference
$config['index_page'] = '';
I created the following .htaccess file to remove the index.php from the URL
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
#RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?/$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?/$1 [QSA,L]
</IfModule>
<IfModule !mod_rewrite.c>
ErrorDocument 404 /index.php
</IfModule>
I've toggled between the RewriteRule [L] and [QSA,L] values and get the same behavior.
In the config.php file, I set the following value
$config['uri_protocol'] = 'PATH_INFO';
Using this configuration above, attempting to open www.mysite.com/test/1234 simply opens www.mysite.com. But when I open www.mysite.com/index.php/test/1234, the $_SERVER[PATH_INFO] => /test/1234, but only opens www.mysite.com.
When I switch back to:
$config['uri_protocol'] = 'AUTO';
I can access www.mysite.com/test/1234 (without needing /index.php/), but the $_SERVER[PATH_INFO] value is not being set.
Any suggestions are appreciated.

There is no reference to PHP version in development and production environment, but at first glance I would try changing the cgi.fix-pathinfo setting:
http://php.net/manual/en/ini.core.php#ini.cgi.fix-pathinfo
if php.ini editting is available.

.htaccess issue | Codeigniter

I'm relatively new to Codeigniter and MVC. But, have successfully made two apps 'Locally'. While exploring, I found a way to remove 'Index.php' from the URL and also about custom routes. The .htaccess file that i have works like charm locally, but when trying to host it; there is a issue 505 internal server issue
Here is the first .htaccess code that i have (works locally) :-
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
# Turn on URL rewriting
RewriteEngine On
# If your website begins from a folder e.g localhost/my_project then
# you have to change it to: RewriteBase /my_project/
# If your site begins from the root e.g. example.local/ then
# let it as it is
RewriteBase /
# Protect application and system files from being viewed when the index.php is missing
RewriteCond $1 ^(application|system|private|logs)
# Rewrite to index.php/access_denied/URL
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/access_denied/$1 [PT,L]
# Allow these directories and files to be displayed directly:
RewriteCond $1 ^(index\.php|robots\.txt|favicon\.ico|public|assets|css|js|images)
# No rewriting
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ - [PT,L]
# Rewrite to index.php/URL
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [PT,L]
</IfModule>
When i use the code above there is an error. And, the app works only when .htaccess is removed. (I then have to use the inconvenient long URLs)
After a brief research and using different .htaccess without success, i asked one of my friends who has a Hosted CI app successfully running. He sends me a file which leads me the landing page without any problem; but, cant call any functions with/without using routing .i.e. If i use the custom routed URl (www.mySite.com/contact) then also it leads me to the landing page, the same with actual URL scheme (www.mySite.com/welcome/contact_page)
The new code here:-
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
# !IMPORTANT! Set your RewriteBase here and don't forget trailing and leading
# slashes.
# If your page resides at
# http://www.example.com/mypage/test1
# then use
# RewriteBase /mypage/test1/
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?/$1 [L]
</IfModule>
<IfModule !mod_rewrite.c>
ErrorDocument 404 /index.php
</IfModule>
Using this code shows me the landing page but i cannot navigate any further from there. When i try to call a function the landing page reloads. This, I think is because of the last error Handling Code (ErrorDocument 404 /index.php)
Does anyone know what the solution the problem might be??
questions
Why doesnt the first .htaccess code work when hosted?
What may be the issue with the second available .htaccess file??
Do you guys have better .htaccess file? If yes, can you post it here??
Try this .htaccess (Codeigniter Recommended )
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|assets|image|resources|robots\.txt)
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?/$1 [L,QSA]
or
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|resources|robots\.txt)
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L,QSA]
In application/config/config.php
$config['base_url'] = 'http://stackoverflow.com/';
$config['index_page'] = ''; # Should be empty
And make sure Controller name, Model names are in proper way. Bcz Linux Host is an Case-Sensitive.

CodeIgniter 2.1.4 - Routing don't work in server

I know there are many issues like this but I applied everything and I don't find the correct way to do it.
The .htaccess is :
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /NewWebsite
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L]
</IfModule>
<IfModule !mod_rewrite.c>
ErrorDocument 404 /NewWebsite/error.php
</IfModule>
In config/config.php :
$config['base_url'] = 'https://mydomain.com/NewWebsite/';
$config['index_page'] = '';
$config['uri_protocol'] = 'AUTO'; // I change it with REQUEST_URI and PATH_INFO but it don't work
In server, mod_rewrite is enabled.
In localhost, everything is ok but when i uploaded it to the server, only index works (the first page that you see) but when I want to "move" around the web, i have 404 error, page not found.
I am going to show one controller and how I call it to change to another views.
class Products_controller extends CI_Controller {
public function index()
{
$this->load->helper('url');
$this->load->helper('html');
$this->load->view('products.php');
}
}
And from index, I call it:
echo base_url('Products_controller/index');
OR
echo base_url('Products'); // I have in config/routes.php ---> $route['Products'] = "Products_controller/index";
Anyone can help me? What am I missing ?
Thanks.
Though .htaccess depends on hosting server sometimes but you can try with this and let us know. Replace your .htaccess code with the following code:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*) index.php?/$1
Thats it.
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /NewWebsite/index.php [L]
</IfModule>
The above should work - make sure your .htaccess is inside the sub-directory you want to run from.
Also make sure that you don't have a conflicting .htaccess rule in the base directory.
And finally, I got a solution about this topic.It was not about a .htaccess problem, was a really dump and simple mistake.
In CodeIgniter, the name of the controllers and the name of the file
have to have exactly the same name. I have been defining my
controllers with the first letter capitalized and not in the file
name. And now it is everything ok !
Thank you guys.

CodeIgniter Mod_Rewrite issues

Having issues removing index.php? from the URL:
http://localhost/index.php?/reset_password
With htaccess file:
# Customized error messages.
ErrorDocument 404 /index.php
# Set the default handler.
DirectoryIndex index.php
# Various rewrite rules.
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L,QSA]
</IfModule>
CI Settings:
$config['uri_protocol'] = 'AUTO';
I looked at the other threads on here with similar problems but none of their htaccess files work. Am I missing a setting?
I've never seen that .htaccess setup before, although it may work. I've used this for every CI project I've done, give it a try:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
# If the start of the URL doesn't match one of these...
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|robots\.txt|assets|cache|themes|uploads)
# Route through index.php
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]
</IfModule>
Add don't forget this in config.php:
/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Index File
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| Typically this will be your index.php file, unless you've renamed it to
| something else. If you are using mod_rewrite to remove the page set this
| variable so that it is blank.
|
*/
$config['index_page'] = '';
And remember: This will not "remove" index.php from your URL automatically, but rather route the request through it if it isn't present. If you have hardcoded links with index.php in them, they'll have to be changed or you'll need additional .htaccess configuration. If you are using the CI url functions like base_url(), site_url(), and anchor(), they won't use index.php if you have it blank in your config above.
This code works for me:
If name of my site is codeIgniter_ci_intro
I used code in .htaccess
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /codeIgniter_ci_intro//index.php/$1 [L]
and I changed in config.php
$config['index_page'] = '';

Removing index.php from the url in codeigniter

I recently started using codeigniter, and I've got it hosted on Bluehost here: http://dev.fuelingtheweb.com/codeigniter/.
If I included index.php in the path like this: /codeigniter/index.php/hello, everything works fine, but if I try to access the page without index.php like this: /codeigniter/hello, I get a 500 Internal Server Error. I have tried numerous .htaccess options, but nothing seems to work.
Currently, my .htaccess file is locating here: /codeigniter/.htaccess and it includes the following code:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /codeigniter/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ codeigniter/index.php/$1 [NC,L,QSA]
</IfModule>
<IfModule !mod_rewrite.c>
ErrorDocument 404 index.php
</IfModule>
Also, my config file (/codeigniter/application/config/config.php) includes the following:
$config['index_page'] = '';
$config['uri_protocol'] = 'AUTO';
I tried all 5 protocol options with no success.
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Puzzled using codeigniter on shared hosting server

This ones a new on me. I'm transferring a site I made in codeigniter to a godaddy shared hosting server. I can get to the home page with:
http://www.example.com
But when I try to go to the other pages like:
http://www.example.com/about-us/
It throws me this error message:
Not Found
The requested URL /example/index.php/about-us/ was not found on this server.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
If I use:
http://www.example.com/index.php/about-us/
The page appears as clear as day.
I have looked up CI workaround , but my site is more of static pages then dynamic pages.
Overall, my question is, what am I doing wrong and does this have anything to do with having a godaddy shared hosting account?
.htaccess
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|images|robots\.txt)

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L,QSA]

$config['index_page'] = '';
$config['uri_protocol'] = 'QUERY_STRING';
CI autoload file

09-30-2011 Update:
In the .htaccess use:
# Options
Options -Multiviews
Options +FollowSymLinks
#Enable mod rewrite
RewriteEngine On
#the location of the root of your site
#if writing for subdirectories, you would enter /subdirectory
RewriteBase /
#Removes access to CodeIgniter system folder by users.
#Additionally this will allow you to create a System.php controller,
#previously this would not have been possible.
#'system' can be replaced if you have renamed your system folder.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^system.*
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?/$1 [L]
#Checks to see if the user is attempting to access a valid file,
#such as an image or css document, if this isn't true it sends the
#request to index.php
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
#This last condition enables access to the images and css
#folders, and the robots.txt file
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|images|robots\.txt|css)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?/$1 [L]
In the CI config file:
$config['index_page'] = "";
$config['uri_protocol'] = "AUTO";
Source: codeigniter.com/wiki/Godaddy_Installaton_Tips
It's an .htaccess issue. Try changing your .htaccess file to:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?$1 [L]
Your updated .htaccess is right. you need a small change in it.
change below line in your .htaccess file:
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?/$1 [L,QSA]
and in your config.php
$config['uri_protocol'] = 'QUERY_STRING';
This is not a godaddy solution, but same error on my WAMP localhost...
I had a simple fix to this, which started to occur after I upgraded my WAMPserver. It had set up a new apache config and it had turned off the rewrite_module.
To fix, I just left click wamperver icon->Apache->Apache Modules->rewrite_module and make sure that is ticked.
