CodeIgniter showing only default controller

Question

I am using Codeigniter in Local WAMP. Here code is working fine. But i upload in Cpanel ( inside of example.com, folder name call 'mysite'). There I changed as,

• db_name (config/database.php)
• db_user_name (config/database.php)
• db_password (config/database.php)
• base_url as http://example.com/mysite (config/config.php)
• uri_protocol as REQUEST_URI (config/config.php)

And also changed .htaccess(mysite/.htaccess) as,

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>

RewriteEngine On

# Set the rewritebase to your CI installation folder
RewriteBase /mysite/


# Send everything to index.php
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]

But not in mysite/application/.htaccess . It's empty.

Problem is, If I go http://example.com/mysite , it's showing default page as correctly. But if I click any link (http://example.com/mysite/user/signin), it's showing same default page. but URL is changed.

help me, Please...

Answer 1

Try this htaccess:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|images|robots\.txt)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /mysite/index.php/$1 [L]

Also you should have created controller named user and this controller should ahve function signin.

Answer 2

Don't write anything in .htaccess file and remove $route['user/(:any)'] = 'user/index'; line and one thing very important make sure in your server mod rewrite extension should me enabled.

may this help you How to enable mod_rewrite in php.ini on shared hosting

Answer 3

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

Answer 4

Sometimes "ORIG_PATH_INFO" fixes this issue. So you can also try again with changing uri_protocol to "ORIG_PATH_INFO"

$config['uri_protocol'] = "ORIG_PATH_INFO";

and the base_url should be absolute,

$config['base_url'] = "http://example.com/mysite/";

Answer 5

I used following .htaccess file and it works for me with cpanel.

# index file can be index.php, home.php, default.php etc.
DirectoryIndex index.php

# Rewrite engine
RewriteEngine On

# condition with escaping special chars
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|robots\.txt|favicon\.ico)
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ ./index.php/$1 [L,QSA]

There are few things that you have to take into consideration. when you setup your project with codigniter framework. following is the file that you have to make changes.

1).htaccess:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /mysite/index.php/$1 [L]  

2)application/config/config.php

$config['base_url'] = 'http://example.com/mysite/';
$config['server_root'] = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'];
$config['index_page'] = '';
$config['uri_protocol'] = 'AUTO';  

3)application/config/database.php

$db['default']['hostname'] = 'localhost'; // set your hostname
$db['default']['username'] = 'root'; // set database username
$db['default']['password'] = 'root'; //set database password
$db['default']['database'] = 'XYZ'; //set your database name
$db['default']['dbdriver'] = 'mysql';

4)application/config/routes.php

$route['default_controller'] = "user";  //your default controller
$route['404_override'] = '';  

Note: your .htaccess file must be in root directory. here it should be in mysite folder
