Answer 1

I don't really know and understand why you use the folder public inside the folder of controllers and i strongly disagree with that if you don't know the purpose of this.

In this case you should change your base_url in application/config/config.php to:

$config['base_url'] = 'http://YOUR_DOMAIN/public/';

Otherwise, try to set your route as:

$route['default_controller'] = 'public/Home_controller/home';

If you definitely need the public folder inside controllers , because you have another folder inside controllers , comment me and i will suggest you another generic solution.

From docs :

You can NOT use a directory as a part of this setting!

Instead, if it can fit your requirements, you can set default controller in controllers directory like Home.php and put redirection in index method to your wanted route.
