404 error in new page created in codeigniter

Question

I've created one test.php file in location applications\\views\\test\\test.php with controller in application\\controller\\Test.php & model in applications\\models\\Test_model.php .

In my routes.php file, I have added $route['test']='test/view' .

Please note there are some files present already which are working quite fine, one of which is login.php & it has value in routes.php as $route['login']='login/view' . Plus this file does have same model & controller files in likewise location.

When I try to access localhost\\test , it gives me 404 error whereas for localhost\\login works quite fine.

Can anybody help in routing? I'm new to codeigniter & I could not resolve this issue.

EDIT

htaccess works fine as localhost\\login is loading properly along with other few files.

Test_model.php

<?php
class Test_model extends CI_Model{
  public function __construct()
  {
    $this->load->database();
  }
}
?>

test.php

<div>Testing</div>

Test.php

<?php
class Test extends MY_Controller{
  public function __construct()
  {
    parent::__construct();
    $this->load->model('test_model');
  }
  public function view()
  {
    $this->loadHeader();
    $this->load->view('test/test');
    $this->loadFooter();
  }
}
?>

routes.php

$route['test'] = 'test/view';

When I try to access localhost\\application\\controllers\\Test.php , it gives me an error that says Class My_Controller not found. However, when I attempt to do it with any other file let's login with with the same location, it gives me the same error.

So I guess, it's able to find the controller because it's giving an error obviously but not able to load anything else.

Is there some sort of config file in which I have to mention every new page I create or something? There has to be something. This is pretty basic & I'm not able to get to the root of it.

So this is what a problem is. When I copied my test view file to pages folder, it worked. Of course in controller I edited path of the file.

Now the real question is why didn't new folder named test under views work?

Answer 1

Create a .htaccess file and paste this code below

DirectoryIndex index.php
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|images|css|js|robots\.txt|favicon\.ico)
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ ./index.php/$1 [L,QSA]

Finally, the culprit was this line in routes.php file:

$route['(:any)'] = 'pages/view/$1';

I was adding other route below this so it was getting default behaviour. I put them above this line & it worked like a charm. I never thought this could be the issue.

Line number matters, now.
