My friend has a project that he wanted me to work on while he is on vacation.
He sent me his code, I connected the database and set up the site.

On some pages, particular modules don't open for me.

example code:

PHP Code


<?php 
$url = base_url+'includes/actions/autocomplete?module=measurements 


To make it work, I need to add the .php extension like so:

PHP Code


<?php 
$url = base_url+'includes/actions/autocomplete.php?module=measurements 


Why does it work for him without the extension and not for me?
Does it have to do with the apache settings?

Maybe he got this on his .htaccess

Code

IndexIgnore * # prevent directory listing

Order deny,allow
Allow from *

# ------------------------------------------
# Rewrite so that php extentions are not shown
RewriteEngine on

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}\.php -f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1.php

I get those code from: stackoverflow.com/a/32140158

Without looking into the code its hard to answer. As @Backbone said, your friend may be using .htaccess

You may need to give rewrite permissions to the public directory for the virtual host and then enable mod_rewrite and check for a valid .htaccess file. If all these things are there you should be able to do what you want with a URL.

This worked for me! Thank you. I tried looking on google but I guess I didn't know how to word my question.

@Yani

To be honest, I'm not sure when I got this code from, I think I just made it up real quick.

No problem.
I'll be more active here so if you have any question, just post it here.
