将错误的URL重定向到指定的URL代码初始化器

Question

This is my current folder structure:

Description:

• My base_url is: localhost/shoppingCart
• My default controller is Welcome

I have divided my project into 2 parts: front end and back end.

For back end my standard controller is "admin/home" (admin is folder and home is the name of controller)

For front end my standard controller is "welcome" (welcome is name of controller)

Problem:

When I enter localhost/ShoppingCart/admin it is going to "welcome" controller but the url remains same. I should throw some error I think.

And when I enter localhost/ShoppingCart/admin/home it is working properly.

I tried using route to redirect localhost/ShoppingCart/admin to localhost/ShoppingCart :

$route['/admin'] = "welcome";

Answer 1

To redirect a subfolder to your main domain, you'll have to do something like this :

#Redirect a sub folder to root
Redirect 301 /subfolder /

In your case it will be :

redirect 301 /admin /

Answer 2

I guess that your problem is on the routes.

Also I recommend you to use a "Good" names from controllers Naming convention Wikipedia

"welcome" and "home" are not two different things as back-end and Front-end are.

now about the code

I assume that your routes.php file contains something like

$route['default_controller'] = "welcome";

now, for each sub-folder in your controller's folder you must set a default controller in routes.php the $route['default_controller'] is not working in sub folders.

for you, will be something like

$route['admin'] = 'admin/home'

note, remember to set only the name that you want to use, about the symbols / the framework is going to manage them.

which in the url will be http://localhost/ShoppingCart/admin

Every subdir in APPPATH.'controllers' dir should have controller that is named as same as default controller in APPPATH.'route.php' . If you would rename admin module Home.php to Welcome.php (class inside too), you would solve this issue. This is because, when router doesn't find Admin.php file for first uri segment, it seeks for admin directory. When finds it, if there is no next segment in url, router will seek for default controller method set in config.php file. It's easy to solve having unified name for home or welcome page in every subdir as well as in controllers dir.
