Question

For all pages in my codeigniter app except my default controller, main.php, when I refresh the browser the url isn’t affected as one would expect.

However when I refresh the browser at “http://localhost/main”, the main part is stripped off the url. So the browser bar shows just “http://localhost”.

Totally lost on where to start with this but was just wondering if anyone has come across this before…?

Here’s what I think could be the relevant part of my nginx.conf (if Nginx is the problem).

if ($request_uri ~* ^(/main(/index)?|/index(.php)?)/?$)
{
    rewrite ^(.*)$ / permanent;  
}

Note that changing the bracketed code to this:

rewrite ^(.*)$ /main permanent; 

results in the error message The webpage at http://localhost/main has resulted in too many redirects.

Ok I answered my own question. Simply commenting out the nginx.conf code that I showed corrects the problem.

So just do this (says Bo Jackson):

#if ($request_uri ~* ^(/main(/index)?|/index(.php)?)/?$)
#{
#  rewrite ^(.*)$ / permanent;  
#}
