Hello.
I'm in the first time using codeigniter.
I installed it in: http://localhost/codeigniter

I need to develop a site with a public access area and an administration area, so I created an "admin" folder under application/controllers folder, and created an "admin" folder under application/views folder as well.

Then as a test, I created a sample controller (login.php) under controllers/admin folder with the following code:

Code:
&lt;?php

class Login extends Controller {

    function Login()

    {

        parent::Controller();

    }

    function index()

    {

        $data['title'] = 'Administration Area';

        $data['message'] = 'You are in the admin login page';

        $this->load->view('admin/login',$data);

    }

}

and I created a sample view (login.php) under views/admin folder with the code:

Code:
&lt;html&gt;

&lt;head&gt;

    &lt;title&gt;&lt;?=$title?&gt;&lt;/title&gt;

&lt;/head&gt;

&lt;body&gt;

    <h1>&lt;?=$message?&gt;</h1>

&lt;/body&gt;

&lt;/html&gt;

After that I added

Quote:$route['admin'] = 'admin/login';

in routes.php file.

I have tried pointing to:
http://localhost/codeigniter/admin
http://localhost/codeigniter/admin/login
but got a 404 error.

As I pointed, I'm a newbie with codeigniter. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance

Do you use a .htaccess file? Did you set RewriteBase correctly?

[eluser]rolandpish[/eluser]
Yes, this is the .htaccess file I put inside http://localhost/codeigniter folder:

Code:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>

    RewriteEngine On

    RewriteBase /

    #Removes access to the system folder by users.

    #Additionally this will allow you to create a System.php controller,

    #previously this would not have been possible.

    #'system' can be replaced if you have renamed your system folder.

    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^system.*

    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?/$1 [L]

    #Checks to see if the user is attempting to access a valid file,

    #such as an image or css document, if this isn't true it sends the

    #request to index.php

    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?/$1 [L]

</IfModule>

<IfModule !mod_rewrite.c>

    # If we don't have mod_rewrite installed, all 404's

    # can be sent to index.php, and everything works as normal.

    ErrorDocument 404 /index.php

</IfModule>

I guess you need to set

Code:
RewriteBase /codeigniter

I changed that, but it's not working, it keeps showing:

The requested URL /codeigniter/admin was not found on this server.

Update: I removed the .htaccess file, reconfigured config.php file and it worked.
Something is wrong with my .htaccess.

Well, first I want to say I'm sorry for my stupidity because I realized I didn't have the "AllowOverride FileInfo" directive on my document root apache configuration, so the .htaccess file wasn't doing anything.
Now everything works like a charm.

Sorry and thanks a lot!
