CodeIgniter doesn't display website properly on server

Question

I created a site in PHP using CodeIgniter framework. When it was done, I edited routes.php file and added .htaccess file to eliminate /index.php/ part from URL.

Now, when I try to open it in localhost, it works fine, I can access http://localhost/mysite and get the landing page I wanted.

But, the problem is when I try to access the site on server, I get an error. So if I open something like http://mysite.com I get CodeIngniters' default 404 page. I can open all other pages if I specify their URL, like: http://mysite.com/about but when someone else opens the site, he gets an error and he doesn't know what to type in order to pass by that error.

What should I do to fix this? Thanks in advance.

EDIT: .htaccess

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

Can you show us what changes you made to each file mentioned? — Dale

I'm thinking the error is with the htaccess file specifically — Dale

This .htaccess code works for me always, you can try this:

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

Your .htaccess does raise some concerns, you are attempting to pass the file location as a query string which may work in CodeIgniter but there is a better way of doing this.

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule .* /index.php [L]

Also, make sure in your config.php you have the following option set:

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

Good luck.

This .htaccess code works

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

And in config

$config['index_page'] = '';

No. It still gives me 404.

Give us your routes.php

And $config['base_url'] = 'YOUR WEBSITE';

Misa Lazovic Over a year ago

base_url is set. Here's routes.php: <?php if ( ! defined('BASEPATH')) exit('No direct script access allowed'); $route['default_controller'] = "MasterKontroler"; $route['404_override'] = ''; $route['admin/(:any)']="AdminKontroler/$1"; $route['firma/(:any)'] = "FirmaKontroler/$1"; $route['kontakt'] = "MasterKontroler/kontaktirajteNas"; $route['login'] = "MasterKontroler/index"; $route['pretrazi'] = "MasterKontroler/pretrazi"; MasterKontroler has index() function and everything works in localhost. But landing page on server shows CI 404 page.

At end of routes try add $route["(.*)"] = 'MasterKontroler';
