routes.php question - El Forum - 01-09-2013
[eluser]stevea[/eluser]
I'm new to CI and have just finished up the Static example in the User Manual Tutorial.
Entering
www.mysite.com/CI_Tutorial/ci/index.php/pags/view
brings down the default home.php page, as expected, and entering
www.mysite.com/CI_Tutorial/ci/index.php/pags/view/about
brings down the about page, as expected. (Note that I've changed the controller name from pages to pags.)
Then I set $route['default_controller'] = 'pags/view'; and that let me enter just
www.mysite.com/CI_Tutorial/ci/index.php
to bring down the default home page.
No surprises yet.
But now if set $route['default_controller'] = 'pags/view/$1';
and I enter
www.mysite.com/CI_Tutorial/ci/index.php/about
I get a 404.
This surprises me, because if I use the other route example the tutorial gives:
$route['(:any)'] = 'pags/view/$1';
that does let me enter
www.mysite.com/CI_Tutorial/ci/index.php/about
and brings down the about page.
Can someone explain what's going on here? Why doesn't
www.mysite.com/CI_Tutorial/ci/index.php/about
bring down the about page after I set $route['default_controller'] = 'pags/view/$1';
Thanks,
Steve

The default controller route is only for when the homepage is viewed, aka example.com or example.com/index.php.
