problem with controllers under sub folder / sub directory - El Forum - 12-30-2008
[eluser]$@!ful[/eluser]
As my given directory structure I set my default controller in router configuration as:
$route['default_controller'] = "visitor/home";
So, when I browse http://www.domain.com then it lodes controller/visitor/home.php
But when I browse http://www.domain.com/visitor or http://www.domain.com/visitor/home then it shows 404 error.
I need to load home controller using the following url:
http://www.domain.com/visitor
http://www.domain.com/visitor/home
Whether home.php is a default controller or not.
Thanks

You cant have a controller in a sub-domain, or a method as the default route. This is a bug thats been around a long time, hopefully it will be fixed soon.
One option would be to use .htaccess to redirect.

You mean sub-folder right?

But what does it mean?

You can have controllers within a subfolder is what it means.
Say you have admin/homepage.php inside your controllers folder.
Assuming you are using .htaccess to remove index.php, you can access that controller by going to
http://www.website.com/admin/homepage
Now, you can set "default_controller" to "homepage" or "admin/homepage". You shouldn't set it to "admin/homepage", and I'll explain why.
By setting it to "homepage", you can now access the controller by going to
http://www.website.com/admin/homepage -OR- http://www.website.com/admin/
By setting it to "admin/homepage", you can access it by going to
http://www.website.com/, but NOT http://www.website.com/admin/.
When accessing http://www.website.com/admin/, CI is essentially trying to load http://www.website.com/admin/admin/homepage
