index.php shows error when setting enable_query_strings to True - redjersey - 08-25-2015
in my config.php I have set the enable_query_strings = TRUE
as it will be much easier to display images.
so my url is something like:
localhost/ci/index.php?c=welcome
If I call localhost/ci/index.php?c=welcome or localhost/ci/index.php?c=welcome&m=index it works.
However if I just call:
localhost/ci/index.php or localhost/ci/
I'll have the error message saying
Unable to determine what should be displayed. A default route has not been specified in the routing file.
in my routes.php
$route['default_controller'] = 'welcome';
Please advise

May I ask why it would make displaying images easier?
When I first read your question, I thought setting the default controller to '?c=welcome' would work but it won't because you will still have the / added.
Perhaps you need a .htaccess file (if on apache) to redirect a root call through to your c=welcome page. That might do it.
Hope that helps,
Paul.
