Tutorial Routing - pilot311 - 06-17-2019
Newby
I am painfully working my way through the tutorial, and I am stuck on Routing. I added the two lines to config/routes.php. When attempting to go to index.php/about, I get "Forbidden: You don't have permission on this server" or "File not found" depending on which path I include in my URL address. I am using Mac Mojave. Please help.

Post your routes and controllers. I take it you're doing the tutorial.
You should be able to use just /home and /about without the index.php
RE: Tutorial Routing - pilot311 - 06-17-2019
Yes, I am doing the tutorial.
The tutorial said to add the second and third line below to config/routes.php.
defined('BASEPATH') OR exit('No direct script access allowed');
$route['default_controller'] = 'pages/view';
$route['(:any)'] = 'pages/view/$1';
$route['default_controller'] = 'welcome';
$route['404_override'] = '';
$route['translate_uri_dashes'] = FALSE;
Then the tutorial said to go to index.php/about, and I should see the view method in the pages controller.
I added "administrators" and "all" to the permissions for the ci directory and all of its contents, and I restarted my Mac to install the new permissions.
I always clear my browser cache before I try a new URL.
I tried the following URL's with the following responses:
1. http://localhost:8888//ci/index.php/about
"404 Page Not Found
The page you requested was not found."
2. http://localhost:8888//ci/application/controllers/about
"Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /ci/application/controllers/about on this server."
3. http://localhost:8888//ci/about
"Not Found
The requested URL /ci/about was not found on this server."

This is not CI4. Looks like you're using version 3.
RE: Tutorial Routing - ciadmin - 06-17-2019
All your posted examples have double slashes after the port number.
That will definitely cause problems, regardless of the CI version you are using!
Your base_url setting is suspect.
You should never have access to application/controllers from the browser in any case, for "forbidden" is normal.
ps - moving this to "general help", as it does not pertain to CI4.

He also has two default controllers showing in the routes file.

Thank you very much for alerting me to the existence of CI4. I downloaded it and while working with it a lightbulb went off. I received a "You don't have access to this file" and I remembered that a few months ago I deleted my permissions to be an administrator. Very embarrassing.
Now I am going to contact a company here in the Research Triangle area to see if they can help me restore my administrator permissions on my Mac. I just don't know enough about using the Mac terminal.
Please shelve this topic for now while I hopefully solve my Mac problem. I have a feeling that once that is done, I will not need to get back to the forum.
