Hi

I am a new to codeigniter I have configured it and I am getting this error now Fatal error: Class 'Controller' not
found in C:\wamp\www\CodeIgniter_1.6.3\CodeIgniter_1.6.3\system\application\controllers\welcome.php on line 2

My hunch is that you are trying to request the welcome.php file and not the index.php front controller. The url for the welcome controller will be http://localhost/index.php/welcome and not http://localhost/system/application/cont...elcome.php

Actually I am using codeigniter inside wamp server so the the path is C:\wamp\www\CodeIgniter_1.6.3\CodeIgniter_1.6.3\system\application\controllers\welcome.php. I have also tried with C:\wamp\www\CodeIgniter_1.6.3\CodeIgniter_1.6.3\system\application\controllers\index.php it is giving he requested URL /CodeIgniter_1.6.3/CodeIgniter_1.6.3/system/application/controllers/index.php was not found on this server.
this error.Whether I have to make any change in index.php or config.php.....Please help

Actually, it doesn't matter what server you are using, you don't request the controller file directly. You have to access the framework through the front controller, which is /index.php. I never suggested you rename your controller. When you download a fresh copy of CI, there is an index.php file in the root directory. This is what you should point your browser at.

Hi,

I had the same problem. It you open and examine welcome.php, you can see your CodeIgniter directory extension has been added to the Controlloer eg:CI_Controller . If you add the same prefix to your classes everythig will fine.
