URL Rewriting

Apache

If you are using Apache for your web server, you will need to create a '.htaccess' file in your website root directory.

Example '.htaccess' file:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|assets|robots\.txt)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L]

nginx

If you are using nginx, simply ensure that in your server block '=404' is not at the end of the 'try_files' line but '/index.php' is.

Example of a wrong server block snippet:

location / {
	try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
}

Example of a correct server block snippet:

location / {
	try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php;
}

Email Settings

If you do not have a built in mail server to send emails, use the settings below with a smtp service like sendgrid, mandrill, or mailgun.

No Email Server

<?php
$config['protocol'] = 'smtp';
$config['smtp_host'] = '';
$config['smtp_user'] = '';
$config['smtp_pass'] = '';

$config['mailtype'] = 'html';
?>
