Controllers not loading, no logging either

Downloaded the latest code, uploaded it to my server and everything loaded (yeah!) no more ENV issues or logger loading issues.

I copied the home controller to pages.php and loaded it up in a browser and I get a 404 error - and - the URL changes from /pages to /public/pages
I try to load the checks controller and I get a 404 error and the URL changes from /checks to /public/checks

I check out the routes.php in the config folder and add:
$routes->add('/pages', 'Pages::index');

Try again, same result.

Apart from changing the App.php in the config folder for the $baseURL, nothing else was changed. Also, changed the logging to 9, however, no log file is being written (the writable folder's permissions are 777)

No errors on the server either.
