base url suddenly stopped working

[eluser]johnmerlino[/eluser]
Hey all,

I have this configured in config.php:

Code:

$config['base_url']    = "http://hmlaw/";

Worked fine for a while. But as I added stuff to the site, now when I try to access it, I get a 404 Page Not Found error. This is running off my local host and I haven't changed the virtual host settings in apache (in fact I can access pages like http://hmlaw/home just fine). I temporarily removed everything in the routes to see if that was the cause, but even then I was getting 404. Not sure where else to look for problems.

Thanks for response.
