I'm having a problem with code igniter's fancy URLs. My application works fine when I visit
Code:
http://www.evanbot.com/index.php/about/evanbyrne
but, when I visit
Code:
http://www.evanbot.com/about/evanbyrne
it always displays the home page.
Here is my htaccess file's contents.
Code:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|img|robots\.txt|youth)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L]
Here's my config.php file for the application:
PHP Code:
<?php if ( ! defined('BASEPATH')) exit('No direct script access allowed');

| URI ROUTING
| -------------------------------------------------------------------------
| This file lets you re-map URI requests to specific controller functions.
|
| Typically there is a one-to-one relationship between a URL string
| and its corresponding controller class/method. The segments in a
| URL normally follow this pattern:
|
| example.com/class/method/id/
|
| In some instances, however, you may want to remap this relationship
| so that a different class/function is called than the one
| corresponding to the URL.

| RESERVED ROUTES

| URI contains no data. In the above example, the "welcome" class
| would be loaded.
|
| $route['scaffolding_trigger'] = 'scaffolding';
|
| This route lets you set a "secret" word that will trigger the
| scaffolding feature for added security. Note: Scaffolding must be
| enabled in the controller in which you intend to use it. The reserved
| routes must come before any wildcard or regular expression routes.

All help is much appreciated. You can see the site in action at

Thanks!
