Can't get URL rewriting to work using CodeIgniter

I'm trying to put up a demo site for a client and I cant get url rewriting to work properly.

The site is located at mysite.com/client. The home page works ok, but when I try mysite.com/client/admin it fails. It works on mysite.com/client/index.php/admin but that's far from ideal :S

My .htaccess is as follows:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine on

    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.

    ErrorDocument 404 /index.php
</IfModule>

And my config.php is set to:

$config['index_page'] = "";
$config['uri_protocol'] = "AUTO";

I've tried every config I've come across on the web with no success.

Can you point us to the actual site and files you are referring to? We need to take a look at the account to see what type of application this is, and what the directory structure is from rewrite's point-of-view. Thanks!

We tried searching the account ourselves but found many, many config.php and .htaccess files.

My account is same as my username here. The site is ign.com.uy (WP) and the CodeIgniter demo is ign.com.uy/bruster/

The config is located at webapps/bruster/system/application/config/config.php

The .htaccess is at webapps/bruster/.htaccess Thanks!

".htdocs" won't get the job done - the rewrite rules need to be in a file called ".htaccess"

Sorry, I meant htaccess! I'm still asleep...

You should try replacing "RewriteRule ^(.)$ index.php/$1 [L]" with "RewriteRule ^(.)$ index.php?$1 [L]".

Another thing you may need is a "RewriteBase /" line right after the "RewriteEngine On" statement.

If this doesn't help, I'd suggest opening a support ticket.

This didn't do the trick. I'll open a ticket when I get home. Thanks.

any update on this problem? did the ticket solved it? I am not yet on WebFaction and Codeigniter is a prerequisite for me, so I would like to know if it works without problem... thanks
