SOLUTION: I used WAMP server on my VPS. The problem was the rewrite module was not loaded in the apache settings. I fixed this by going into my apache folder/conf/http.conf and removing the hashtag infront of this line: LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so. I restarted apache and it worked.
EDIT: It's not running even tho i input an email and password. I am not being able to run the form_validation at all it seems.
EDIT 2: Also found out i can't echo $this->input->post('email'); in the function login_validation.
EDIT 3: I echoed out $this->output->enable_profiler(); and it said i sent no post data. Is it possible that my .htaccess is doing something with the posting?
i'm creating a login / registration system using codeigniter. I got it to work on localhost but something must have happened when i moved it to my host.
I autoload form in my autoload.php:
$autoload['helper'] = array('form', 'url');
This is my validation code in class Main file controllers/main.php:
public function login_validation(){
$this->load->library('form_validation');
$this->form_validation->set_rules('email', 'Email', 'required');
$this->form_validation->set_rules('password', 'Password', 'required|md5');
if($this->form_validation->run()){
//NO VALIDATION ERRORS
}else{
echo 'Errors:<br />';
echo validation_errors();
}
}
My form:
<?php
echo form_open('main/login_validation');
$property_type = array('class' => 'bar left', 'value' => 'E-Mail', 'name' => 'email');
echo form_input($property_type);
$property_type = array('class' => 'bar right', 'value' => 'Password', 'name' => 'password');
echo form_password($property_type);
$property_type = array('class' => 'buttonone', 'value' => 'Login', 'name' => 'login_submit');
echo form_submit($property_type);
echo form_close();
?>
When i dont type in anything in the form it should display Email and password is required. It only says Errors:. But it does not display the validation errors.
I also had to change to another .htaccess when i uploaded it to my host.
This is my new htaccess:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
# !IMPORTANT! Set your RewriteBase here and don't forget trailing and leading
# slashes.
# If your page resides at
# http://www.example.com/mypage/test1
# then use
# RewriteBase /mypage/test1/
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?/$1 [L]
</IfModule>
<IfModule !mod_rewrite.c>
# If we don't have mod_rewrite installed, all 404's
# can be sent to index.php, and everything works as normal.
# Submitted by: ElliotHaughin
ErrorDocument 404 /index.php
</IfModule>
This is my old .htaccess:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
#Removes access to the system folder by users.
#Additionally this will allow you to create a System.php controller,
#previously this would not have been possible.
#'system' can be replaced if you have renamed your system folder.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^system.*
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?/$1 [L]
#When your application folder isn't in the system folder
#This snippet prevents user access to the application folder
#Submitted by: Fabdrol
#Rename 'application' to your applications folder name.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^application.*
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?/$1 [L]
#Checks to
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?/$1 [L]
