I have always thought the api controllers where not found by physical paths. The reason I ask is I have a website example.com I created a folder example.com/testing and uploaded my project to there. When I ran it I got errors saying that none of the apiControllers could be found. So I changed /api/apiCustomers to /testing/api/apiCustomers. It then worked, well not the actual posting of any new records. It did locate and retrieve all the records from the database though. But it doesn't seem like that is what I would actually need to do? I have a domain with WinHost and the default publish folder is example.com/myApp
AM I looking at this the wrong way?
To handle request where you do not know the root path, you can use (as in ASP.NET) the ~-character like this:
~/api/apiCustomers
~ will then be replaced by the root (i.e. /api/apiCustomers for prod and /testing/api/apiCustomers for your test environment)

I am working on a web app that is located in a child folder of a folder in my htdocs. Like this:
http://localhost/folder/another_folder/index.php
I can force routing to my controllers by getting:
http://localhost/folder/another_folder/index.php/controller
But I cannot get my routes to behave as expected:
$route['auth/login/(:any)/(:any)'] = 'auth/login/$1/$2';
I also tried:
$route['auth/login/(:any)/(:any)'] = 'folder/another_folder/auth/login/$1/$2';
$route['another_folder/login(:any)/(:any)'] = 'auth/login/$1/$2';
And various other permutations. In all cases I get CI 404s or standard 404s. I need a solution that is portable, so when I publish this in the test server where it'll be at on level of subdirectory, and when I publish to production where it'll be root I only need to change one (or fewer!) lines of code. Thanks for your insight!
Configuring base_url in config.php seems to be the trick for this!
I need to bypass an MVC route for an application where the developer left - we're going to fully replace it, but for now if I can bypass this one route, it'll save us a ton of time.
The route is (e.g.) www.this.site/path/subpath
Since it's on IIS, I can take advantage of the default document and create the following folder / file structure: /path/subpath/index.htm
However if I do this, I'll "break" the parent www.this.site/path route (it throws a 403 - Forbidden: Access is denied) because I now have an actual file folder where the /path/ route was.
Is there a way to get around this / have IIS defer to MVC on /path/ but still handle the child html file?
thanks. Again, this is not intended as a long term solution but a work-around until we can replace the app entirely.
Perhaps a better workaround would be to use the IIS AAR module and it's reverse proxy functionality out the app.
To do so:
a) stand up the app at it's own site the proper path -- so it should work at something like http://localhost:1234/path/subpath/index.htm
b) install IIS AAR module and enable the reverse proxy functions using the WebPI and the IIS management tools
c) Ignore the /path/subpath route in your app
d) Add a virtual directory for /path/subpath to IIS
e) Configure that to reverse back to localhost:1234 or whatever port you configured the site
This will keep the legacy app completely separate while keeping the public facing URLs looking correct for the rest of the world.
I'm using GroceryCRUD to act as a front end for a database containing news releases. Secretaries can go in and add/edit/delete news releases in the database easily now. Only qualified users are able to access the application root via an .htaccess password. The problem with this is that GroceryCRUD uploads assets such as photos are uploaded to the directory /www/approot/assets/uploads/ which is password protected since /approot/ is protected.
My ideal solution would be to set an upload directory outside of the application root which is where I'm running into trouble. By default this is how GroceryCRUD handles uploads:
$this->grocery_crud->set_field_upload('photo1','assets/uploads/');
I've tried changing it to something like this:
$this->grocery_crud->set_field_upload('photo1','/public/assets/uploads/');
I was hoping this / would make the path start from the document root instead of the application root, but it throws this error:
PHP Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'Exception' with message 'It
seems that the folder "/Users/myusername/www/approot//public/assets/uploads/"
for the field name "photo1" doesn't exists.
This seems to suggest that CI or GroceryCRUD just takes the second argument in set_upload field and just concatenates it onto the end of the site URL that is defined. Is there any way around this that doesn't involve creating a user login system?
Try using relative path.
$this->grocery_crud->set_field_upload('photo1','../assets/uploads/');
.. -> Go up one directory
I ended up implementing a login system outlined in this tutorial:
http://net.tutsplus.com/tutorials/php/easy-authentication-with-codeigniter/
It was quite simple to set up and suits my needs. I found ways to give access to the directory using httpd.conf directives but I feel like this was a more viable solution since I don't have direct access to server configuration files.
Maybe in the future GroceryCRUD will allow placement of uploads outside the application folder.
I am working on a new module of existing live project. It is a website developed in PHP Zend Framework. New module is on admin side. It runs properly on my localhost/virtualhost.
When I uploaded it online with correct directory path it is found that one file is not found.
It is called like
www.example.com/admin/controllerName/actionName
All the actions works except one action that doesn't display anything and returns exception error mentioning that page or file not found.
What could be the issue? I have checked folders. If one action for the same controller works than why doesn't other. Both have their .phtml files in View section.
Help would be appreciated.
Would I be right if I guessed your local development environment was Windows?
It's probably a filename case sensitivity issue.
Assuming your request looks like
www.example.com/admin/fusionmaps/newpage
I'm not sure how you've setup your modules but if it's reasonably standard, you should have something like this (note the upper and lowercase characters)
application/modules/admin/controllers/FusionmapsController.php
The controller classname should be Admin_FusionmapsController with action public function newpageAction()
The view script should be at
application/modules/admin/views/scripts/fusionmaps/newpage.phtml
I recently just started to migrate over a CI application to Amazon's EC2 service. To test I set up a micro instance of ubuntu and a LAMP stack. PHP, MySQL, HTTPD are all working beautifully. The one issue i'm having now is that when I run my application I receive an error saying that my helpers won't load. The helpers in particular that aren't loading are the ones in subdirectories in the helpers directory ie: /var/www/system/application/helpers/subdirectory/foo_helper.php
The helpers are being autoloaded and in my autoload.php config file they are written like:
$autoload['helper'] = array('subdirectory/foo', 'foo2',...);
Has anyone run into this issue, or have any pointers on where I could go look in my configuration to resolve this?
Thanks for the help!
I'd try debugging the helper function of the Loader class, in particular these lines :
system/libraries/Loader.php
elseif (file_exists(APPPATH.'helpers/'.$helper.EXT))
{
include_once(APPPATH.'helpers/'.$helper.EXT);
}
This is the code that will be hit when including application helpers. Check what path CodeIgniter is trying to include. Double check that the path exists - everyone makes typos now and again ;-)
I think the issue is that when I moved from Windows to Linux I forgot to take into account that linux is case-sensitive. So now I need to go through and rename my files and folders.
But this still doesn't solve the issue where it seems like the page is being cached and I'm not able to refresh and see my changes. Is there any way to force the page to grab a fresh copy from the server on every refresh?
