Default controller doesn't appear to be working - El Forum - 10-13-2009

My local development site in MAMP works fine, put it on my live hosting in a subfolder for testing and I get 404 errors when I don't pass a controller.

E.g.

http://www.website.com/dev/ <-- 404
http://www.website.com/dev/Blog <-- Works correctly

I'm using this .htaccess to remove index.php from the URI:

Code:
RewriteEngine On

# Have tried with and without RewriteBase

RewriteBase /dev/

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

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

Hosting definitely supports mod_rewrite, I have other stuff on there using it - including a Wordpress install that uses a very similar rewrite.

I've printed out the $_SERVER variable and it shows that it's going for the right script (http://www.website.com/dev/index.php)

In config I've set everything up like (I think) it should be, relevant parts are:

Code:
$config['base_url']    = "http://www.website.com/dev/";

$config['index_page'] = "";

And in routes I have

Code:
$route['default_controller'] = "Blog";

Any idea what might be wrong? Hoping it's something simple, this is driving me crazy!

Thanks,
Colin

Instead of this:

Code:
$config['base_url']    = "http://www.website.com/dev/";

Try this

Code:
$config['base_url']    = "http://www.website.com/dev";

remove the backslash at the end then it should works

Thanks for the reply. Still getting 404 error though!
I'm sure it will be something that simple but I just can't see what could be wrong.

I've removed the .htaccess file entirely, changed the config to this:

Code:
$config['base_url'] = "http://www.website.com/dev";

$config['index_page'] = "index.php";

Now I get these results:

http://www.website.com/dev/index.php <-- 404
http://www.website.com/dev/index.php/Blog <-- Works

I'll keep hunting, in the meantime any suggestions are appreciated.

Fixed!

Changed controller filename and default controller to lowercase.

I guess it was getting confused with the actual filename (Blog) and the class Blog?

Anyway, all working as expected now.
