How to run function of another controller with base_url specified in config.php

Question

I have controller welcome below that redirect to function of another controller in controllers/auth/login.php

function __construct() {
    parent::__construct();

    $this->load->helper('url');
    $this->load->library('tank_auth');
}

function index() {
    if (!$this->tank_auth->is_logged_in()) {
        redirect('/auth/login');
    } else {
        $data['user_id']    = $this->tank_auth->get_user_id();
        $data['username']   = $this->tank_auth->get_username();
        $this->load->view('welcome', $data);
    }
}

Here, the config.php :

$config['base_url'] = '';
$config['index_page'] = 'index.php';

it work well. But when i specified the base_url in config file into:

$config['base_url'] = 'http://localhost/cilog/';
$config['index_page'] = '';

Object not found . why it be? but it work again when i specified index_page into index.php .

I believe this is because of the way CodeIgniter handles it's URL's. I'm not actually sure why Codeigniter does this, but they include index.php in there URL.

So your URL would look something like http://localhost/cilog/index.php/auth/login

You can either rewrite your .htaccess file to remove the index.php by putting this in:

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

and keep your $config['base_url'] set too "http://localhost/cilog/"

OR

specify both a $config['base_url'] and $config['index_page']
