php – Codeigniter and .htaccess in subfolder on server

Question:

My goal is to make an application written in Codeigniter run on the server in a subfolder and not on the main domain, example: www.dominio.com.br/foo .

The error is about redirection , every request is being redirected to the home ( www.dominio.com.br ).

Content of the file www.dominio.com.br/foo/.htaccess :

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

Excerpt from the file www.dominio.com.br/foo/application/config/config.php :

$config['base_url'] = 'http://www.dominio.com.br/foo/';
...
$config['index_page'] = '/index.php';

I'll let you know that I've already tried using RewriteBase that way…

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

…but I wasn't successful either.

I also confess that I changed the .htaccess in every way and always redirects to home.

Thanks in advance!

Answer:

The correct path for RewriteRule .

Note that you specified RewriteBase , however, RewriteRule still points to the root.

To solve this, do this: RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /foo/index.php/$1 [L]

Complete example:

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

Some observations

1. The name index.php is unnecessary if DirectoryIndex is already pointing to it.

2. When applying to a root directory, it is good practice to specify the base RewriteBase / .

Alternative

Alternatively, a more simplified form for HTACCESS rules:

To root/root directory

RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
Options FollowSymLinks
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule (.+) /
DirectoryIndex index.php

For a subfolder

RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /foo/
Options FollowSymLinks
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule (.+) /foo/
DirectoryIndex index.php
