Server URL problems
As explained in the Troubleshooting section in the User Guide, CI requires the PATH INFO server variable in order for it's segment based system to work ([url=http://www.codeigniter.com/user_guide/installation/troubleshooting.html]http://www.codeigniter.com/user_guide/installation/troubleshooting.html[/url]) The User Guide suggests a number of fixes, and personally I found the only option was to use to append the '?' to my index_page. I wasn't satisfied with this so I did some further investigation and it turns out that my host did support PATH INFO however it was being rejected - the solution - set the AcceptPathInfo directive to 'On' in a htaccess file:
<FilesMatch "^index.php$"> SetHandler application/x-httpd-php #always a good idea to confirm type AcceptPathInfo On
// index.php <?php echo $_SERVER [ 'PATH_INFO' ] ; die(); //outputs '/my/path/info' ?>
You see, some servers (such as the one i am hosted on) have this set to 'default' which often rejects path info....
NB: This can be added to the same htaccess file as the mod_rewrite used to remove the index.php file
