Hi,
I have a working installation of ExpressionEngine in my local machine for deployment,
Now, I have uploaded everything to Dreamhost server , changing the configuration of db and paths, .htaccess file and clearing cache.

Almost everything works very nice.

The only problem is with css files like http://ee.mydomain.es/?css=general/reset_css.v.1315091726
And also with “login out” link wich is http://ee.mydomain.es/?ACT=16

Both url are giving the same output Error ,  a blank page with an Invalid GET Data  message.

I think maybe it’s some security feature, but I don’t know to disable, or even if its something in php.ini or ExpressionEngine core.

edit: I’m using 2.2.2 version.

Thanks.
Alfonso.

I’ve found some hints

the log out link its going to http://www.mydomain.com/?ACT=16  and not working ,
but if I put manually   http://www.mydomain.com/index.php?ACT=16  then it’s working ,

so it’s something with removing index.php ?

¡¡ finally I solved it !!

adding this two lines in my .htaccess

Options +MultiViews +FollowSymLinks    
    DirectoryIndex index.php index.html

So if you have Dreamhost and getting the “Invalid GET date”  message you can try with this .htaccess

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    Options +MultiViews +FollowSymLinks    
    DirectoryIndex index.php index.html
 
   RewriteEngine On
    # Removes index.php
    RewriteCond $1 !\.(gif|jpe?g|png|css)$ [NC]
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?/$1 [L]
    # If 404s, "No Input File" or every URL returns the same thing
    # make it /index.php?/$1 above (add the question mark)
</IfModule>

And in CP Home -> Output and Debugging Preferences
set Force URL query strings to No

brainbrain.es,

I’m glad to see you were able to sort this out! Thank you for sharing your solution, it may serve to help others in the same situation.

Is there anything else we can assist you with?

Cheers,

You’re welcome,
Every thing it’s fine for the moment, thanks Dan.

Just as suggestion,
may be it make sense to have this specific .htaccess configuration in the respective Wiki page.
http://expressionengine.com/wiki/Category:.htaccess/
with subsections of the .htaccess page for each Hosting provider.

Thank for great support.
Alfonso.

You should be able to add this info yourself to the wiki entry… but glad things are working again. Feel free to start a new thread if you have any more questions.
