Remove .htaccess Requirement #3

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
CI, and therefore Lifepress, won't function without .htaccess

The problem with requiring .htaccess to function limits where people can 
install Lifepress.

For example, Jorge's web host allows doesn't allow for MySQL or .htaccess. 
However, thanks to CI Lifepress can run on SQLite so the lack of MySQL isn't 
all that bad. However, the inability to use .htaccess has us dead in the 
water.

Well you can always query string URLs.
Ex: index.php?c=products&m=view&id=345
You can enable this by editing your application/config/config.php and enable 
"Enable Query Strings"
If you need more help take a look at:

Or change your hosting...

This actually isn't a personal issue ;)

The problem is that sweetcron literally doesn't work without 
.htaccess. We also don't want to force anyones hand, it's their 
choice what kind of hosting they have, not ours. Our job is to 
make our software as useful as possible for our users. 

This requirement also makes it overly difficult to install 
Lifepress on LightTPD web servers.

Perhaps we should default to query strings unless the user 
explicitly sets the option to enable pretty permalinks 
(.htaccess URL rewriting)
