Question

On my local machine I have .htaccess in the web route that reads:

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

But when I attempt to visit the following url – localhost/admin – I get “404 Not Found”. I

I tried editing the last line to include a leading slash:

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L]

but that didn’t work.

I made sure mod_rewrite was enabled:

sudo a2enmod rewrite

My config settings were change in application/config/config.php to read:

$config['index_page'] = '';

I’ve checked my controller spelling and it appears to be correct (if I visit localhost/index.php/admin it loads the controller).

So, according to your last comment – you have your .htaccess turned off.

You can turn it on by specifying AllowOverride All in your apache configs

PS: try find current AllowOverride settings, most likely it is specified to None or something more restrictive than All
