404 Controller or its method is not found

CI is looking at the subdirectory to use as the controller (auto route - no routes), I even set up a route to try to direct it but it still looks at the wrong url segment https://codeigniter4.github.io/userguide...i-segments

Ex: mywebsite.com/ci4app/home/participantlogin

PHP Code:

Controller or its method is not found: \App\Controllers\Ci4app::home 


it thinks ci4app is the controller, it is really home

CI_VERSION = '4.3.6'
