Question

I have a CI app that after switching servers, doesn’t seem to route properly.

In my config I have

$config['uri_protocol'] = "PATH_INFO";
$config['enable_query_strings'] = TRUE;

This should allow both query string parameters and url segments.

So this, should in theory work (as it is on the old server):

http://www.domain.com/register?param=something

However, no matter what URL I go to it only shows the index.

So if I go to http://www.domain.com/register

It shows this in the address bar, however it doesn’t get the register controller, it’s showing the index.

If I change the ‘uri_protocol’ to REQUEST_URI, it works. But then query string parameters won’t.

My .htaccess is

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

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} .
RewriteRule ^$ /? [L]  

Any ideas what the issue could be? Like I say, it’s working on a different server. So, I’m thinking something to do with apache perhaps?

Thanks a lot!

I’d guess, RewriteCond $1 never evaluates to true and no redirect happens.

You can, actually, reduce these two lines to one:

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

It’s sufficient to write

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

Since the -f test checks files and directories. If this still fails to produce your expected results, inspect PATH_INFO and ORIG_PATH_INFO in $_SERVER if they’re actually present.
