What happened?

On one of the hosting reg.ru there is a problem "No input file specified"
I believe that this is an incorrect server setting (related due to nginx or php-cgi), they write about it on other resources.
The problem was solved by changing public/.htaccess
on the
RewriteRule ^([\s\S]*)$ index.php [L,NC]
I don’t know how common this error is, maybe it’s worth adding a note about this to the documentation?
https://codeigniter.com/user_guide/installation/troubleshooting.html
for example this: If you encounter a No input file specified error, try changing htaccess to "code example"

Steps to Reproduce

Move files from localhost to shared hosting

Expected Output

Must run app

Anything else?

Thank you for reporting.

Can your config handle the URL with query strings like http://example.com/foo?page=1?
Can you get $_GET['page']?

And there is another way:

RewriteRule ^([\s\S]*)$ index.php?/$1 [L,NC,QSA]

from https://forum.codeigniter.com/showthread.php?tid=77365

Now I cant check if the site is working.
I tried to start the router in different ways - index.php does not find it.
Could only open https://example.com/index.php?/foo?page=1

RewriteRule ^([\s\S]*)$ index.php?/$1 [L,NC,QSA]

Yes, this rules work. Added ? solves the problem
