Question

I’m having a problem getting CodeIgniter to work on my shared hosting account. The URL is http://test.tallgreentree.com. It’s not giving me a .php error, but it is displaying a 404 page for everything I type into the address bar.

Here’s the beginning of my config.php file.

<?php  if ( ! defined('BASEPATH')) exit('No direct script access allowed');  /* |-------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Base Site URL |-------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | URL to your CodeIgniter root. Typically this will be your base URL, | WITH a trailing slash: | |   http://example.com/ | */ $config['base_url'] = 'http://test.tallgreentree.com/';  /* |-------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Index File |-------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Typically this will be your index.php file, unless you've renamed it to | something else. If you are using mod_rewrite to remove the page set this | variable so that it is blank. | */ $config['index_page'] = 'index.php';  /* |-------------------------------------------------------------------------- | URI PROTOCOL |-------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | This item determines which server global should be used to retrieve the | URI string.  The default setting of 'AUTO' works for most servers. | If your links do not seem to work, try one of the other delicious flavors: | | 'AUTO'            Default - auto detects | 'PATH_INFO'       Uses the PATH_INFO | 'QUERY_STRING'    Uses the QUERY_STRING | 'REQUEST_URI'     Uses the REQUEST_URI | 'ORIG_PATH_INFO'  Uses the ORIG_PATH_INFO | */ $config['uri_protocol'] = 'AUTO'; 

Are there known issues when using CodeIgniter with subdomains? What could be causing this? I’ve tried multiple configurations, but nothing seems to be working for me. What server settings should I check with my hosting provider?

Thank you all for your time and assistance.

Answer 1

change

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

to

$config['uri_protocol'] = 'REQUEST_URI' 

and see if that fixes it

also, do you have the class controller name the same as the file name?

filename = test.php

class Test ...
