Setting a homepage
#1

Hi,

I organized my controllers and views into subdirectories like this

frontend
admin

I created a Home.php in controllers/frontend
and a
home.php file in views/frontend

CI is installed in http://localhost/ci

when I access this url I'd like the home view to load, but currently I can only access it via http://localhost:8080/ci/frontend/home

I'm guessing it may have something to do with my .htaccess file which is this:


Code:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks

application\routes.php
$route['default_controller'] = 'frontend/home';

Yeah, I already set this, but it's still not working.

The default controller cannot be in a sub-directory.

From the CodeIgniter Users Guide.

You can NOT use a directory as a part of this setting!


PHP Code:
<?php
defined
('BASEPATH') OR exit('No direct script access allowed');

Use the above and then create a Home controller.

PHP Code:
<?php
defined
('BASEPATH') OR exit('No direct script access allowed');

@InsiteFX: My bad. Worked in CI 2, but apparently that where a bug so it got fixed.

Right, they fixed users were abusing it in version 2.

I just make a MY_Controller that has a BaseController then I extented that into
a Backend and Frontend controller. Backend for Admin area and Frontend for the public area.

As for the admin I use an Admin directory under controllers and make views with directories.

Replace your .htaccess code by this.

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /ci/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]

Replace base_url in config.php file
$config['base_url'] = 'http://127.0 0.1/ci/';
$config['index_page'] = '';

Use home controller code
<?php
/*
Welcome controller for front
*/
defined('BASEPATH') OR exit('No direct script access allowed');

class Home extends CI_Controller {

function __construct() {
Parent::__construct();
}

function index() {
       $this->load->view('front/frontend/home');
}
}

browser url:
http://127.0 0.1/ci/frontend/home
