Hello Guys,

I don’t know whether its the right place to post this, but wanted to share this to those newbies who face problem in hosting CI in dreamhost and can’t make the .htaccess work. Here goes the quick steps to follow for solving that:

1. Open system/application/config/config.php

2. Set

$config['index_page'] = "";

3. Set

$config['uri_protocol']    = "REQUEST_URI";

4. Add this .htaccess file to your server root (or in the folder where your files are located). Be sure to change the RewriteBase to match your folder location:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /rbs/
    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>

5. Thats it! Now enjoy CI in peace.

Any suggestions?

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|public|tmp|user_guide|robots\.txt)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?/$1 [L]

Also works.

See this thread.

Using the instructions above, I’m still getting an Internal Server Error.

My .htaccess file is as follows:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /calley/
    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>

My dreamhost username is ‘calley’. The files are in a subdirectory called ofnirdev.uriptical.com, so the full path to the index file is: /home/calley/ofnirdev.uriptical.com/index.php

I’ve tried putting the .htaccess file in both /home/calley and /home/calley/ofnirdev.uriptical.com

Help would be much appreciated.

If index.php is found at /home/calley/ofnirdev.uriptical.com/index.php then:

You would place the .htaccess file in /home/calley/ofnirdev.uriptical.com as well as change the RewriteBase to /home/calley/ofnirdev.uriptical.com.

Thanks for your help Michael. Unfortunately the issue continues.

The page that I’m trying to load is:

http://ofnirdev.uriptical.com/user/join

This works on my local Windows machine, using a different .htaccess file. The default controller is ‘user’, and join is function of that class which displays a form.
