Question

edit:

Solved – mod_rewrite was the problem

---

I can’t get CI to work as described in the tutorial.
No matter how I fiddle with the path or the settings – it is not working

My Setup:

• ubuntu on local machine
• no .htaccess
• default routing
• config:
  • $config['base_url'] = 'http://localhost/~myuser/ci/';
  • $config['index_page'] = 'index.php';
  • $config['uri_protocol'] = 'AUTO';
• one controller named users.php class Users with a “listone” method

I try calling

• http://localhost/~myuser/ci/index.php?users/listone -> welcome page
• http://localhost/~myuser/ci/index.php/users/listone -> 404

I had different routing configured, to use users/listone as default. That was working, but then I was unable to access other methods.

What am I doing wrong? I tried to follow the tutorial, but it seems as if its not working as described.

edit:
even with a slash at the end of base_url its not working, neither when empty

i get a server 404 when I call index.php/users/listone , not the one CI has.

The controller: added a index-method. – which is not reachable

<?php
class Users extends CI_Controller {
    public function listone($page = 'listall')
    {
        echo $page;
    }

    public function index()
    {
        echo 'listone';
    }
}

Answer 1

Problem solved:

My test-system was missing mod_rewrite.

An indicator for that problem might be, that calling http://host/directory/index.php/conntroller shows a 404. – not a CodeIgniter-404, but a apache 404.

Thanks all for helping me.
