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...

routes.php

$route['default_controller'] = "welcome";
$route['404_override'] = '';
$route['user/(:any)'] = 'user/index';

Answer 1

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

Better than :

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

Try this :

RewriteBase /

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

Answer 2

i was facing same issue ..its resolved when i use

$config['uri_protocol'] = 'AUTO'; 

in config.php ..try using AUTO and PATH_INFO for the same

make sure rewrite_module is on in apache

Answer 3

.htaccess Code

Restore the default config to config.php, Hope this helps you.

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule .* index.php/$0 [PT,L]

Answer 4

If you plan to use subfolder on server do the same on local WAMP. This way you can test it before you send it on server.

I was using CI long time ago but I think you have to add mysite/ in some config file.

See: Installing a CodeIgniter application in a subfolder

Answer 5

CodeIgniter can be told to load a default controller when a URI is not present, as will be the case when only your site root URL is requested.So once replace your default conroller 'welcome' with your conrtoller in routes.php , it may help you

Answer 6

<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 7

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 8

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]

Answer 9

Remove

$route['user/(:any)'] = 'user/index';

in your routes.php file. user/signin matches the above condition, that is why CI route the request to user/index instead of your "User" controller "signin" function.

What are you trying to achieve with that route configuration?

Answer 10

Open config.php and do following replaces

$config['index_page'] = "index.php"
to
$config['index_page'] = ""

In some cases the default setting for uri_protocol does not work properly. Just replace $config['uri_protocol'] ="AUTO" by $config['uri_protocol'] = "REQUEST_URI"

HTACCESS

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|resources|robots\.txt)
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L,QSA] 

Answer 11

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 12

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 13

I solved the same issue by changing the controller file name to start with a capital letter.

Just like the default 'Welcome' controller downloaded.

Answer 14

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

Answer 15

try this

$config['uri_protocol'] = 'PATH_INFO';
$config['enable_query_strings'] = FALSE;

Httaccess

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On

#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
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [NC]
</IfModule>
