I relocated the application and system folders above the root of the web server as suggested in the CodeIgniter Installation Instructions.

As a raw CodeIgniter beginner, I am now running the Static Pages tutorial.

After I had created the first few files, the URL index.php/pages/view kept returning Page Not Found.

After a fair bit of research, I changed the code in pages.php to ..

Code:
if ( ! file_exists(APPPATH.'/views/pages/'.$page.'.php')) {

 // Whoops, we don't have a page for that!

 show_404();

    }

The tutorial now works.

The code in the tutorial is currently ..

Code:
if ( ! file_exists('application/views/pages/'.$page.'.php')) {

Shouldn't this use the APPPATH definition?
Or is there an even better way to make sure the tutorial works in all cases?

Did you change the paths to your system and application folder in codeigniters index.php file?

[eluser]Tybion[/eluser]
Yes
- to 'C:/CI/applications' and 'C:/CI/system'

That is why APPPATH is set to the new (correct) location rather than the original location.

Thanks...that fixed it. But I am stuck on the routes.php thing. Not sure if I should do this in routes.php or .htaccess with mod_rewrite. I am trying to rewrite/reroute the url www.myurl.com/pages/views/about to www.myurl.com/about without messing up other applications.
In routes.php I have:

Code:
$route['default_controller'] = 'news';

$route['404_override'] = '';

In .htaccess I have this one that I found:

Code:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>

    RewriteEngine On

    RewriteBase /

    ### Canonicalize codeigniter URLs

    # If your default controller is something other than

    # "welcome" you should probably change this

    RewriteRule ^(pages(/index)?|index(\.php)?)/?$ / [L,R=301]

    RewriteRule ^(.*)/index/?$ $1 [L,R=301]

    # Removes trailing slashes (prevents SEO duplicate content issues)

    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

    RewriteRule ^(.+)/$ $1 [L,R=301]

    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^system.*

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

    # Checks to see if the user is attempting to access a valid file,

    # such as an image or css document, if this isn't true it sends the

    # request to index.php

    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

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

</IfModule>

<IfModule !mod_rewrite.c>

    # Without mod_rewrite, route 404's to the front controller

    ErrorDocument 404 /index.php

</IfModule>

Thanks!

How many pages do you have like this? If not too many, you can list them all in a single route. There are many ways to do this.

Just one page...

Code:
$route['about'] = 'pages/view/$1';

Multiple pages...

Code:
$route['(about|some-other-page)'] = 'pages/view/$1';

Code:
class Pages extends CI_Controller {

  public function view($url_title = '')

  {

    // page name is sent as $url_title automatically

    if ($url_title !== '')

    {

      //check to see if page exists in database...

      //if so display it, if not show_404();

    }

  }

}

I have multiple pages, but I am thinking that it might be better to just not put them in the pages folder if it means adding an extra configuration.

I'm learning a lot from the posts. Little by little, I hope I get to improve myself. Thanks, everyone!

I am running through the 'Tutorial − Static pages' and I am having a problem on the first page!

I have followed the instructions in detail and all I get is error 404.
I included the APPPATH suggestion above but still no joy.

I am not having any joy with the documentation/tutorials on this site, anybody know of what might be wrong on the Static Pages tutorial?

Thanks in advance,
Jason
