Codeigniter on OpenShift is redirecting to 404 error page

Question

I have recently created an account on OpenShift to host some of my applications and send them to my clients, so they can see, test and give me feedbacks.

My first application is a CodeIgniter project that I had on my computer. I created a default controller called tester and set it on routes.php.

I configured my .htaccess like this

RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|images|robots\.txt|styles)
RewriteCond $1 !\.(ico|js|css|jpg|png|gif|html|ico?g)$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]

It works fine on localhost, but it is redirecting me to the 404 page all the time when I try to see my website on OpenShift.

How can I test what route is being traced by Codeigniter? Any of you have any clue about what is happening?

Answer 1

use this.

in config.php

$config['base_url'] = '';
$config['index_page'] = '';
$config['uri_protocol'] = 'AUTO';
$config['url_suffix'] = '';

in Config/routes.php

$route['default_controller'] = "main";//your controller name. ex: i used main
$route['404_override'] = '';

in controller folder

File name = main.php

inside main.php

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

class Main extends CI_Controller
{

    public function  __construct()
    {


    }
}

in .htaccess(out side application folder)

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L] 
</IfModule>
