Question

I have installed a CodeIgniter application on main domain (domain.com). Now I wanted to use a directory for a blog (domain.com/blog/) where I would like to install a WordPress powered blog. But the issue is that I created a Directory called a blog but when I try to access it by typing domain.com/blog/ I get CodeIgniter 404 not fount page. I am very new with CodeIgniter so I must be missing something here.

Thanks

Assuming you’re using .htaccess to remove index.php from your URLs, you should have an .htaccess at the root of your project with something like this in it:

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

It’s basically saying “Send all requests to index.php/$request unless they start with index.php, robots.txt, css, or images“.

This is so you don’t have to use URLs like http://example.com/index.php/controller/method.

Just add blog:

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