I have been following this tutorial on youtube:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ck5pTkRumPw&t=351s
Around the 12:00 minute mark, the tutorial talks about updating the .htaccess file so you can navigate to the page without using index.php.
I have not been able to access the page in this manner.
I'm using Windows 2008 server called server01 (if that even matters).
My file structure is as follows:
codeIgniter
>Application
>System
.htaccess
index.php
Currently, my .htaccess file looks like this:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L]
In my config file, I have the following:
$config['base_url'] = 'server01.usa.tests.com/codeIgniter/HomeController';
$config['index_page'] = '';
$config['uri_protocol'] = 'REQUEST_URI';
On the routes.php file, I have the following:
$route['default_controller'] = 'HomeController';
$route['404_override'] = '';
$route['translate_uri_dashes'] = FALSE;
I even updated my httpd.conf file to include the following:
<Directory "d:/htdocs/codeIgniter">
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
Satisfy all
</Directory>
Since I've updated the httpd.conf file, now when I navigate to the site, I am getting the following error:
**Forbidden**
You don't have permission to access /codeIgniter/HomeController on this server.
What am I doing wrong?
I'll probably have to remove the update I made to the httpd.conf file.
On another note, I tried using various answers from the following links with no success:
