Routing issue

Hi;

I have made some small changes in route in order to show a URL in a slightly different way. It works fine locally but not on-line. What am I doing wrong?

This works fine:

Code:

http://localhost:8888/breakup_opt/get-ex-girlfreind-back/first-thing-to-do-before-getting-your-ex-back

This doesn't (shows 404)

Code:

http://mywebsite.com/get-ex-girlfreind-back/first-thing-to-do-before-getting-your-ex-back

Here is my route:

PHP Code:

$route['get-ex-girlfreind-back/(:any)'] = 'blog/index/$1'; 


Here is blog controller:

PHP Code:

class Blog extends CI_Controller {

 public function index($blog_link)
 {
 .... 


Thanks

I can't find anything wrong in your route setting.
What's the value of $config['base_url'] in your config.php file?

It could be a previous defined route messing it up. Do you have any other routes defined with 'get-ex-girlfreind-back' as the first segment? If so, show all of those routes, and in order they are defined.

BTW friend uses ie, not ei

Not really. This is my route:

PHP Code:

$route['default_controller'] = 'opt';
$route['video/(:any)'] = 'video/index/$1';
$route['get-ex-girlfriend-back/(:any)'] = 'blog/index/$1';

$route['video_temp/(:any)'] = 'video_temp/index/$1';
$route['404_override'] = 'login';
$route['translate_uri_dashes'] = FALSE; 


BTW friend uses ie, not ei

Thanks for that.

If and only if you are using CI_3.0.0 then check the update logs because the routing has changed.

PHP Code:

// $route['get-ex-girlfreind-back/(:any)'] = 'blog/index/$1'; 
// try this instead
$route['get-ex-girlfreind-back/(.+)'] = 'blog/index/$1'; 

// off topic - spelling mistake
// try friend instead of freind 
// maybe that is why she left :-)

yeh I am on CI 3...But I didnt have issues with other files. For example this works fine:

PHP Code:

$route['video/(:any)'] = 'video/index/$1'; 


I tried it for that page it didn't work

Found it wow you wow you couldnt have guessed!!!!!!!!

The controller was blog.php not Blog.php!!!!!

I renamed it to capital B and it started to work!

Why is that?

Why is that?

Because Windows doesn't make a difference between 'B' and 'b'.

Maybe Windows doesn't make a difference between a Big "B" and a small "b", but ex girlfriends do!
