Controller class not found

[eluser]signtheta[/eluser]
Hi all,

i am new to PHP and CI, coming from different languages and would like some help with the following issue.

CI installed in domain-root/ci


have a Home class implemented in home.php derived from Controller but on requesting the page i get the following error message...

Fatal error: Class 'Controller' not found in /var/www/vhosts/nmcbuild.com.au/httpdocs/ci/application/controllers/home.php on line 4

i understand that php cannot resolve the Controller symbol, doesn't know where to find it.


could some one help me how to fix this please?

Is your Home Class extending "Controller" or "CI_Controller"?

Should extend "CI_Controller" if you have CI >2 running.

[eluser]signtheta[/eluser]
mine is extending Controller and i am running ci 2.1.0. oh is that the issue then? i will try extending CI_Controller then.


where did you find this info mate?


thanks for the reply!

[eluser]LuckyFella73[/eluser]
In Codeigniter version < 2 your controller classes had to extend "Controller".
From CI > 2 the core-controller-class was renamed to "CI_Controller".

404 Page Not Found

The page you requested was not found.


here is my setup....

[eluser]signtheta[/eluser]
now it's giving me

404 Page Not Found

The page you requested was not found.

Code:

<?php

class Home extends CI_Controller
{
var $base;
var $css;

public function Home()
{
  //parent::__construct();
  echo "HELLO World!!!";
  // echo phpinfo();
  // $base=this->config->item('base');
  // $css=this->config->item('css');
}
public function index($page)
{
  // $data['page']=$page;
  // $data['base']=$base;
  // $data['css']=$css;
  
  // this->load->view('template/header', $data);
  // this->load->view('template/menu');
  // this->load->view('under-construction');
  // this->load->view('template/footer');
}
}
?>

default controller set to Home in routes.php

I did copy paste your controller and it's working in my installation (2.1).

Do you make use of .htaccess to get seo urls?

[eluser]signtheta[/eluser]
i did have a .htaccess but i have removed it and tried but still the same response

[eluser]LuckyFella73[/eluser]
Try to set "home" as your default_controller in application/config/routes.php
instead of "welcome" and request the project root url. If it works you know
it has to do with your config somehow ..

[eluser]signtheta[/eluser]
can you try this url: http://nmcbuild.com.au/index.php to see the php settings
