Index method is not loading by default on controllers

Hi everyone,

I have a problem, the index method is not loading by default on any controller (instead, a 404 page is shown), I need to go to localhost/app/exampleController/index to see it.

Here my .htaccess file:

Code:

DirectoryIndex index.php
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|assets|robots\.txt|favicon\.ico)
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ ./index.php/$1 [L,QSA]

Thank you.

Are you sure mod_rewrite is enabled?

On Linux:

Code:

sudo a2enmod rewrite

Hi Diederik,

I am using xampp on Windows with 'LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so' line uncommented and 'AllowOverride All' set on all occurrences.

Here are my config and routes files if it helps:

Code:

<?php
defined('BASEPATH') OR exit('No direct script access allowed');

$config['base_url'] = 'http://localhost/app/';
$config['index_page'] = '';

$config['language']    = 'english';
$config['charset'] = 'UTF-8';
$config['enable_hooks'] = FALSE;

$config['allow_get_array'] = TRUE;

$config['csrf_exclude_uris'] = array();
$config['compress_output'] = FALSE;
$config['time_reference'] = 'local';
$config['rewrite_short_tags'] = FALSE;
$config['proxy_ips'] = '';

Code:

<?php
defined('BASEPATH') OR exit('No direct script access allowed');

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

Just for clarification, I have 3 controllers, 'pages' is the main one, the other two are 'users' and 'projects'. I can access to the index method of 'pages' using 'localhost/app/' but I can't access to the index method of 'users' and 'projects' with the url 'localhost/app/users' and 'localhost/app/projects', a 404 page is shown, I need to go to '/index' to see it.

Well this seems to be a routing issue: "$route['(:any)'] = 'pages/$1';" will point all requests to your pages controller. If you request localhost/users it will look for the users method inside your pages controller instead of loading the users model.

The default controller does not accept a directory it should only be the controller name.

This line of code can cause problems sometimes with index method working remark it out and see if that is the case:

Code:

RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|assets|robots\.txt|favicon\.ico)
