can't create instance of a model class in models from controller class

It maybe the way your Virtual Host is setup.

I' am on Windows 10 Pro x64 using XAMPP this is how I setup my vhosts for http: and https:

Code:

#--------------------------------------------------------------
# CI4 Development Tutorial News
#--------------------------------------------------------------

#--------------------------------------------------------------
# HTTP:
#--------------------------------------------------------------
<VirtualHost *:80>
    DocumentRoot "C:/xampp/htdocs/ci4tutorial/public_html"
    ServerName ci4tut.local
    ServerAlias ci4tut.local
    <Directory "C:/xampp/htdocs/ci4tutorial/public_html">
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
        AllowOverride All
        Require all granted
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

#--------------------------------------------------------------
# HTTPS:
#--------------------------------------------------------------
<VirtualHost *:443>
    DocumentRoot "C:/xampp/htdocs/ci4tutorial/public_html"
    ServerName ci4tut.local
    ServerAlias ci4tut.local
    SSLEngine on
    SSLCertificateFile "conf/ssl.crt/server.crt"
    SSLCertificateKeyFile "conf/ssl.key/server.key"
    <Directory "C:/xampp/htdocs/ci4tutorial/public_html">
        Options All
        AllowOverride All
        Require all granted
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

#--------------------------------------------------------------

You will notice that I use public_html not the standard public folder because that's the
way my live host is setup.

What did you Try? What did you Get? What did you Expect?
