I've been stuck on this for several days now. I'm attempting to deploy CI 3+ app to GoDaddy server (Linux, CPanel), shared hosting acct.
I've placed myapp in subfolder 'CIP17' directly below public_html folder that's below my acct root directory.
I have a non-CI version of this app in another subfolder at the same level that works OK.
The new CI version works OK on my localhost.
I want myapp to open at login page, login controller: 'c_login', Login controller file: 'c_login.php', 'class C_login extends CI_Controller { . . . }
I also placed the CI 'Welcome' controller in same controller folder and the CI 'welcome_message' in my views folder.
In config/routes file:
$route['default_controller'] = 'c_login'; (I did try 'C_login', no joy.)
$route['404_override'] = '';
$route['translate_uri_dashes'] = FALSE;
In config/config file:
$config['base_url'] = 'https://myapp.com/CIP17/';
$config['index_page'] = ''; //index.php';
$config['uri_protocol'] = 'REQUEST_URI'; //'QUERY_STRINGS'; // 'PATH_INFO'; //
I have an .htaccess file in the /CIP17/ app folder that seems to be working so that I don't need 'index.php in every URI - although I only have a vague understanding of what these commands do individually:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /CIP17/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^system.*
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?/$1 [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^application.*
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?/$1 [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?/$1 [L]
When I load 'https://myapp.com/CIP17/' to browser address bar I get: '404 Page Not Found'
When I type 'https://myapp.com/CIP17/c_login' in browser address bar I get: '404 Page Not Found'.
WhenI type 'https://myapp.com/CIP17/index.php/c_login' in browser address bar I get: '404 Page Not Found'.
When I type 'https://myapp.com/CIP17/C_login' in browser address bar I get: '404 Page Not Found'.
When I type 'https://myapp.com/CIP17/Welcome' in browser address bar I get the CI Welcome page.
I changed filename of 'Welcome.php' to 'Welcomex.php' and tried 'https://myapp.com/CIP17/Welcomex.php'. I got '404 Page Not Found'. But when I changed the file names back to 'Welcome.php' I got the Welcome page again.
Finally, I tried renaming 'c_login.php' to Welcome.php and when trying 'https://myapp.com/CIP17/Welcome' in browser address bar I got the '404 Page Not Found' error. But when I did this and also changed the class declaration to: 'class Welcome extends CI_Controller {...} This time I got a blank page - no 404 error. The contents inspector showed empty html and body tags.
Any suggestions on how I'm screwing up would be greatly appreciated. Even just an idea of where I should look would be helpful at this point.
