Question

The index page (aka homepage.php) in my code igniter install is working fine no matter what.

The problem lies with using subdirectories to store other pages, currently its setup like:

loading homepage like http://localhost/VAw_CI/ works fine (loading homepage.php), this is setup in routes.php:

$route['default_controller'] = "pages/homepage";

in config.php, I’ve setup:

$config['base_url'] = 'http://localhost/VAw_CI';

/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Index File
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| Typically this will be your index.php file, unless you've renamed it to
| something else. If you are using mod_rewrite to remove the page set this
| variable so that it is blank.
|
*/
$config['index_page'] = '';

I specified $config['index_page'] = ''; above, because I modified my .htaccess located in htdocslike:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule .*homepage/$0 [PT,L]

However, if I try to login on homepage.php, which is currently looks like:

It sends me to http://localhost/VAw_CI/pages/clientlogin

displaying:

I have controllers setup like:

What gives here? When I visit http://localhost/VAw_CI, it is effectively loading the views->pages->homepage.php view properly, but it seems any other view doesn’t work am I missing some path setup somewhere for pages other than the index (homepage.php) in my case?

Answer 1

please create .htaccess file in project folder and write:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

# Rewrite all other URLs to index.php/URL
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?url=$1 [PT,L] 

</IfModule>
<IfModule !mod_rewrite.c>
 ErrorDocument 404 index.php
</IfModule>

You don’t need to define in base_url in config file:

$config['base_url'] = ''; // blank it.
