RE: Need Help Creating Registration/Login Form - InsiteFX - 02-09-2016
In Windows you need to edit the windows host file in c:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\host use notepad to edit it.
IP (IPv6), using 128 bits for the address
such as 172.16.254.1 (IPv4), and 2001:db8:0:1234:0:567:8:1 (IPv6).
127.0.0.1 localhost
::1 localhost
If it has a # in front of it remove it.
I have Administrator rights on my system but on your the file may be hidden.

I should've added that I'm working on OS X. Sorry about that.

I suggest you download something very stable and automatic, like WordPress, and install it. If you get the same error message, then the issue is your server configuration, and for that, you'd probably do better in a Mac forum. I can't help more because I hardly know anything about Macs.

I'm assuming I would change that to the home page of my site (after the successful registration), correct?
Either way, I don't know what the User/register is at the end of that address. But that's probably what's causing the 404 error now.
index_page is your the name of your index file (default is index.php), but can be empty if you configured "url rewrite". This never changes once you started using the framework.
What goes after index.php is usually the page that is being requested in the format /index.php/CONTROLLER_NAME/METHOD_NAME/
In your case you have "User" controller and "register" method (or at least you are trying to request/redirect to). Read more here: http://www.codeigniter.com/user_guide/general/routing.html

Also, what is "/myProjectFolder"? Did you put your project in the subfolder of the site?

Thank you for clearing that up. That was bothering me a lot! It makes sense now.
Also, thanks to your explanation, I figured out the problem. It was trying to access the "User" controller, but the controller was incorrectly named. So, of course, it wasn't detected when I submitted the form. What a silly mistake.
RE: Need Help Creating Registration/Login Form - RobertSF - 02-10-2016
I'm glad to hear you got it working! And no worries -- most of our mistakes are silly. That's why long time coders have such flat foreheads. It's from smacking themselves. "Oh, my god, I can't believe I did that!"
