CodeIgniter cannot find anything other than default_controller

Question

I am very new to CodeIgniter so obviously I have problem with the most basic things. I have recently tried to implement a website on local environment. I am using WAMP and the website is in www/public_html. Now the website is working on my localhost but if I try to navigate to any other page from the default (default_controler) it returns not found like

The requested URL /public_html/signin/login/ was not found on this server

I assumed that the website was designed to resolve its path related problems by itself. I am obviously missing something very basic.

I have changed the base_url in the config.php file by the way.

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

I have no clue where else the base_url are or where to change it. Any help will greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

You are getting this problem because you don't have your .htaccess file configured correctly. At the document root in your .htaccess file you need the following

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
  RewriteEngine On

  RewriteBase /
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
  RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?/$1 [L]
</IfModule>

In your config.php you will need to do

$config['index_page'] = '';

You also need to make sure you have mod_rewrite enabled

Answer 2

ther is a problem with your index.php. check this line

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

if it works u have to add an ht access file to remove index.php from ur url

there are a lot of code for .htaccess file on web try using one that suits you
