htaccess help needed

lothos · 01-25-2011, 10:21 PM

This .htaccess works on my linux shared host, but not my freebsd dedicated server. FreeBSD server is freebsd 8.1 with php5.3.5, mysql5.1.54, apache-2.2.17, and php5-extensions installed. And yes, mod_rewrite is loaded and working already

Any help is appreciated

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.+)/$ $1 [L,R=301]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^system.*
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]

The first thing which comes into my mind is that you should try to disable multiviews by adding following code into your .htaccess file:

Code:

Options -MultiViews

RewriteEngine On
...

Actually, multiviews might be already disabled by the apache configuration and therefore may not be the cause of the problem, but I think it's worth to try.

I tried your suggestion but it had no effect.

Any other suggestions? I appreciate the help

Try

Options +FollowSymLinks

In the beginning of the file.

If it's working without it on the shared host, it's probably because it's enabled at the server level.

Okay... How exactly is it not working?
Is it not working as expected or you just receive '500 internal server error' message?

You may also enable logging for rewrites (see options RewriteLog and RewriteLogLevel in httpd.conf or in vhosts.conf) and analyze logs to locate the problem.

I've tried it with that also, and I believe it's enabled in my config.

It's not working as expected.

This is for a coupon site, like a retailmenot clone. The index.php loads and works fine. When you click on a coupon, it is supposed to send you to bestbuy.com or where ever, but instead it loads the main index.php. When you click on a store name, it's supposed to open a second page on my site listing all the coupons for that store, but instead it loads the index.php. /admin is supposed to be the admin area, but once again it loads the main index.php site.

I enabled error logging last night, I will try to copy and paste some of it.[COLOR="Silver"]

Thanks!

Is it possible to view source code of index.php? You can send it to me via PM, if you don't want to publish it here.

I will send over the main /index.php and also the coupon/index.php via PM.

un4given[MAD],

The problem wasn't with the htaccess.

Thank you for pointing me in the right direction, the problem was with the codeignitor configuration files. Your suggestion pointed me in the right direction and I was able to figure it out

Positive rep added.

Thanks
