I am using CodeIgniter for two applications (a public and an admin app). The important elements of the document structure are:
/admin /admin/.htaccess /admin/index.html /application /application/admin /application/public /system .htaccess index.php
The /admin/.htaccess file looks like this:
DirectoryIndex index.php
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ ./index.php/$1 [L,QSA]
The /admin/index.php has the following changes:
$system_folder = "../system"; $application_folder = "../application/admin"; (this line exists of course twice)
And the /application/admin/config/routes.php contains the following:
$route['default_controller'] = "welcome"; $route['admin'] = 'welcome';
Welcome is my default controller.
When I call up the Domain/admin I get a 404 Page Not Found error. When I call up the Domain/admin/welcome everything works fine. In the debug logs I get the following error message:
DEBUG - 2010-09-20 16:27:34 --> Config Class Initialized DEBUG - 2010-09-20 16:27:34 --> Hooks Class Initialized DEBUG - 2010-09-20 16:27:34 --> URI Class Initialized ERROR - 2010-09-20 16:27:34 --> 404 Page Not Found --> admin
Weirdly enough this setup works perfectly on my local MAMP installation (with the localdomain/admin/), but when I publish and test it on the “live” server, I just get 404 errors.
Any ideas? What am I doing wrong? Thanks C.
Answer
The cause of the problem was that the server was running PHP using FastCGI.
After changing the config.php to
$config['uri_protocol'] = "REQUEST_URI";
everything worked.
