We are getting 404s in several cases where we append get parameters to our URLs to add source info.

Here are some formats that are causing 404s:

http://www.ourdomain.com/?hoo=hah
http://www.ourdomain.com/?hoo=hah&hah=hoo
http://www.ourdomain.com/index.php?hoo=hah
http://www.ourdomain.com/index.php?hoo=hah&hah=hoo

http://www.ourdomain.com/actual/page/?hah=hoo
http://www.ourdomain.com/actual/page/?hah=hoo&hah=hah
http://www.ourdomain.com/actual/page?hah=hoo
http://www.ourdomain.com/actual/page?hah=hoo&hah=hah

Oddly enough, though, this works:
http://www.ourdomain.com/realpage?source=hoo&hah=hah

This, however, does not:
http://www.ourdomain.com/realpage?source=hoo

Even the built-in EE links don’t work - for example, the link from within the EE control panel to view our homepage doesn’t work - http://www.ourdomain.com/?URL=http://www.ourdomain.com/ results in a 404. This has been the case with our EE install for as long as I can remember. This leads me to believe that the resolution is a configuration directive, not a .htaccess change.

Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks!

Could we please get a response from an EE representative? We’d like to get this resolved as quickly as possible. I’ve reset our .htaccess rules to the defaults that the “removing index.php” suggests, so I feel that it has to be a configuration issue.

I resolved the issue.. it turns out changing the $config[‘uri_protocol’] configuration directive from ‘AUTO’ to ‘PATH_INFO’ resolved the issue.

Hello bigc,

Sorry I could not be with you any quicker, I understand that it can be frustrating to wait for an answer. I am glad that you were able to sort this out with the $config[‘uri_protocol’] change.

Thank you for posting back with your solution.

Happy Friday!

Cheers,
