Question

Newbie here trying to maintain a PHP website for some charity organization, but cannot get a controller action to invoke:

Under /application/classes/controller,

I have a file called history.php. Content of this file looks like this:

<?php defined('SYSPATH') or die('No direct script access.');

class Controller_History extends Controller_Template {

    public function action_index()
    {   
        $this->response->body('hello, world!');     
    }       
} 

When I go to mydomain.com/history, I get error 404 indicating The requested URL /history was not found on this server.

Boostrap.php has the following default routes defined:

Route::set('welcome-message1', 'directors-welcome-message')
    ->defaults(array(
        'controller' => 'welcome',
        'action'     => 'messageDirector',
    ));

Route::set('welcome-message2', 'directoress-welcome-message')
    ->defaults(array(
        'controller' => 'welcome',
        'action'     => 'messageDirectoress',
    ));

Route::set('default', '(<controller>(/<action>(/<id>)))')
    ->defaults(array(
        'controller' => 'welcome',
        'action'     => 'index',
    ));

/application/logs/2012/06 contains no errors.

Can someone please give me a pointer?

Answer 1

Is it a kohana error or an apache (web server) error? Do you have htaccess enabled? Try /index.php/history.
