I need the default controller to load and display the default action

profbatuka · February 22, 2016, 5:09pm

Hello everyone, I am following the Yii book by Larry Ullman. I have written a .htaccess file and saved in my root folder. This is my .htaccess file:

                        &lt;&#33;ifModule mod_rewrite.c&gt;


                        RewriteEngine on


                        RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} &#33;-f


                        RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} &#33;-d


                        RewriteRule ^(.*)&#036; index.php/&#036;1


                        &lt;/ifModule&gt;

Then in the protected/config/main.php file, I set ‘showScriptName’=>false, like the following:

                     'urlManager'=&gt;array(


		'urlFormat'=&gt;'path',


                    'showScriptName'=&gt;false,


                    'caseSensitive'=&gt;false,


		'rules'=&gt;array(


			'&lt;controller:&#092;w+&gt;/&lt;id:&#092;d+&gt;'=&gt;'&lt;controller&gt;/view',


			'&lt;controller:&#092;w+&gt;/&lt;action:&#092;w+&gt;/&lt;id:&#092;d+&gt;'=&gt;'&lt;controller&gt;/&lt;action&gt;',


			'&lt;controller:&#092;w+&gt;/&lt;action:&#092;w+&gt;'=&gt;'&lt;controller&gt;/&lt;action&gt;',


		),


	),

The problem is when I go to a strange path with strangecontroller eg when I go to localhost/mysite.com/strangecontroller it gives me an error:

  CHttpException

Unable to resolve the request "strangecontroller".

The problem is I want to load the default controller and the default action but it gives giving me that error.

Please help! Thanks in advance.
