CodeIgniter base_url Configuration Issue

Hello,
I’ve been working with CodeIgniter for a while, and it's been great so far. However, I’m having trouble understanding how base_url works. For instance, I’ve set the base_url like this:

Code:

$config['base_url'] = 'http://Office-Inventory/';

But when I try to access http : // Office-Inventory/, I get a 404 Not Found error:

Code:

Not Found The requested URL was not found on this server. Apache/2.4.58 (Win64) OpenSSL/3.1.3 PHP/8.2.12 Server at dict-inventory Port 80

Interestingly, when I use http :// localhost:8000/, everything works as expected, and I can access all the controllers using base_url() or site_url(). I’m confused because I expected http://Office-Inventory/ to work as well. Can anyone explain why it gives a 404 error, but http : //localhost:8000/ works fine?
