Question

I’m trying to use CodeIgniter for multiple applications along with mod_rewrite for the application folder/name.

My CodeIgniter structure is as follows:

webroot/appone/
webroot/apptwo/
webroot/system/
webroot/index.php
webroot/appone.php
webroot/apptwo.php

I followed the example listed here to use CI with multiple apps. http://codeigniter.com/wiki/Multiple_Applications/

I’m looking to use mod_rewrite that will show the following:

domain.com/appone/
domain.com/apptwo/

Answer 1

I believe Dirk is correct.

Here’s the code I’m using (got it from Elliot Haughin) on every app folder and it works fine. Just change APP_FOLDER_NAME to whatever you wish appone, apptwo etc.

have an .htaccess file on each folder with the following:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /APP_FOLDER_NAME

    #Removes access to the system folder by users.
    #Additionally this will allow you to create a System.php controller,
    #previously this would not have been possible.
    #'system' can be replaced if you have renamed your system folder.
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^system.*
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?/$1 [L]

    #When your application folder isn't in the system folder
    #This snippet prevents user access to the application folder
    #Submitted by: Fabdrol
    #Rename 'application' to your applications folder name.
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^application.*
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?/$1 [L]

    #Checks to see if the user is attempting to access a valid file,
    #such as an image or css document, if this isn't true it sends the
    #request to index.php
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?/$1 [L]
</IfModule>

<IfModule !mod_rewrite.c>
    # If we don't have mod_rewrite installed, all 404's
    # can be sent to index.php, and everything works as normal.
    # Submitted by: ElliotHaughin

    ErrorDocument 404 /index.php
</IfModule> 

PS. Don’t forget to remove the index.php and define base url on CI config.

Cheers.
