Codeigniter not working properly when hosted

Question

I had developed a website using Codeigniter. It was working good in localhost. When i hosted it and clicked on links i get "Internal Server Error".

Also i'm not able to see .htaccess files. Please tell me what i'm missing.

Works perfectly

Localhost:

$config['base_url'] = 'http://localhost/site/';

<a href="<?php echo base_url('welcome/page') ?>"> Welcome </a>

When clicked above link, it goes to below url and works perfectly

http://localhost/site/welcome/page

Hosted

Public Web Server (Error):

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

<a href="<?php echo base_url('welcome/page') ?>"> Welcome </a>

When clicked above link, it goes to below url and gives an error

http://mysite.com/welcome/page

try loading this url on hosted server http://mysite.com/index.php/welcome/page If it works then, you haven't enabled rewrite module on server for htaccess to properly work..I can explain that if needed — Jigar Jain

Check on your htaccess file if you have included the site/ part of the mod_rewrite to avoid the index.php/. If you find it, then remove it — Suthan Bala

if your site is hosted on IIS then you will need web.config file instead of .htaccess — Kits

If you have access to the Apache error logs check those for why you are getting the 'Internal Server Error.'

On a Linux server those are usually found in '/var/log/apache2/error.log.'

On a Windows server they can by default be found in something like 'C:\Program Files\Apache\logs.' Or you can find out the location by looking in the conf file or virtual hosts conf file if you use that.

try

<a href="<?php echo site_url('welcome/page') ?>"> Welcome </a>

see docs http://ellislab.com/codeigniter/user-guide/helpers/url_helper.html

OR to hide index.php

add .htaccess file

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
  RewriteEngine on
  RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php)
  RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?/$1 [L]
</IfModule>
