Codeigniter -> getting 404 error. Simple routes not working

I am an asp.net guy and this is the first time I've dealt with PHP.

Anyhow, I've struggled to migrate an existing site to a new server.

This site is using codeigniter.

When I call http://mydomain/admin I get a 404 error!

But if I call:

http://mydomain/index.php/admin

it wo开发者_如何学运维rks!

I have placed an .htaccess file on the root:

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

I have set in the config.php:

$config['index_page'] = '';

My routes.php:

$route['default_controller'] = 'welcome';
$route['scaffolding_trigger'] = '';

I have no idea why it does not work. It must be something very simple I guess...

Thank you!

Did you look through this?: http://codeigniter.com/wiki/mod_rewrite/

If not, try this one:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /

    #Removes access to the 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]

    #When your application folder isn't in the system folder
    #This snippet prevents user access to the application folder
    #Submitted by: Fabdrol
    #Rename 'application' to your applications folder name.
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^application.*
    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
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?/$1 [L]
</IfModule>

<IfModule !mod_rewrite.c>
    # If we don't have mod_rewrite installed, all 404's
    # can be sent to index.php, and everything works as normal.
    # Submitted by: ElliotHaughin

    ErrorDocument 404 /index.php
</IfModule> 

There used to be one from Jamie Rumbelow I used to use a bit, but it's not on his blog anymore... I'm used to nginx now though, so my favorite configuration won't work for you.

Your .htaccess file didn't work for me either. But it worked once I changed the rewrite rule to this :

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]

I just removed the slash at the beginning.

Try this:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

RewriteRule .* index.php/$0 [PT,L]

1º - Create an .htaccess file in the root you're CodeIgniter project.

2º - In the created .htaccess file put the code:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

RewriteRule .* index.php/$0 [PT,L]

try adding RewriteBase / in .htaccess

            $default_controller = "home";
            $language_alias = array('gr','fr');
            $controller_exceptions = array('signup');
            $route['default_controller'] = $default_controller;
            $route["^(".implode('|', $language_alias).")/(".implode('|', $controller_exceptions).")(.*)"] = '$2';
            $route["^(".implode('|', $language_alias).")?/(.*)"] = $default_controller.'/$2';
            $route["^((?!\b".implode('\b|\b', $controller_exceptions)."\b).*)$"] = $default_controller.'/$1';
            foreach($language_alias as $language)
            $route[$language] = $default_controller.'/index';
            $route['404_override'] = '';
