Actually, it was a tiny addition to the .htaccess file that finally solved it. So, for all you Dreamhost users out there, use this to strip that nasty index.php string from your URLs:

RewriteEngine On RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php) RewriteRule ^(.+)$ index.php?$1 [L]

It seems the question mark on teh third line is the key.

Just wanted to add for the record that this solution also works for ICDSoft host provider.

I am just curious. Does this problem happened to other frameworks too ? such as Zend framework, Cake and so on. I am very very tired of getting every little things fixed in the host environment. I am feeling like making “The framework” on my own!!

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?/$1 [L]

While the above works, and fixes the issue in most cases, I came across a problem where if I wanted to allow URL parameters (enabling query strings), the $_GET array was not being populated correctly because something like this:


http://mysite.com/controller/action/?var=val&var2=val2

On Dreamhost (with PHP as CGI) using the RewriteRule above turns into:


http://mysite.com/index.php?/controller/action/?var=val&var2=val2

Which causes CodeIgniter (due to the extra ’?’) to have the $_GET array not be populated as expected (with var,var2 as keys and val,val2 as values).

The solution I came up (for us with Dreamhost, running PHP 5.2+ as CGI) was to repopulate the $_GET array using the REQUEST_URI by creating an extension of of the CI_Input class. The solution is to create a MY_Input.php (as explained by a previous poster) under application/libraries:

<?php  if (!defined('BASEPATH')) exit('No direct script access allowed');

class MY_Input extends CI_Input {

    function __construct(){ //Or MY_Input()
        
        //get the URL query string from the REQUEST_URI
        $get_string = array_pop( explode('?',$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'],2) );
        //parse the pairs of parameters
        $pairs_array = explode('&',$get_string);
        /*
        adding these values to the GET array before sending it to the
        Core Input class.
        */
        foreach($pairs_array as $pair){
            list($key,$value) = explode('=',$pair);
            $_GET[$key] = $value;
        }
        //continue as normal    
        parent::CI_Input();
        
        }
} 

You will still have to set the following in your config file (as explained previously in this thread):

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

I’m sure someone can write better code than I can. I just wanted to help other CI deployments, since I didn’t find a solution to this issue.
