CI file structure

[eluser]Tommy Liu[/eluser]
Dear all,
I am newbie of CI. I have one question of CI file structure, please see as below:

If I try URL: http://localhost/index.php, it shows controllers/abc.php file which I setup all the files correctly.

If I try URL: http://localhost/aboutus.php, I want to shows controllers/xyz.php file. What can I do? Actually, is it possible to do that? Thank you.

Thank you for your help and reply. I try to read it before I post my question. But I still do not understand how to do it.

[routes.php]
$route['aboutus.php'] = "xyz";

But I need to type URL: http://localhost/index.php/aboutus.php to get the result. Would you mind to post the sample to me? Thank you very much.

You need to enable mod_rewrite and edit your config.php and set $config['index_page'] = "";

See the URL Helper page of the CI User Guide

Thank you for your reply. I read it already. But it does not show how to setup or config for typing URL: http://localhost/aboutus.php route to controllers/xyz.php. Thank you.

Code:

$route['aboutus.php'] = "xyz";

should work then.

Please paste your .htaccess and make sure you have xyz.php in system/application/controllers and that has an index() function.

Or tell us what it the current behavior when you type that url in your browser.

Actually it does. You said you have it working as http://localhost/index.php/aboutus.php and the CodeIgniter URLs page has a section called "Removing the index.php file". Read that section. If you need more info on how this works do a google search for mod_rewrite and .htaccess.

Don't forget this either when removing the index.php part:
[quote author="markup2go" date="1255736821"]edit your config.php and set $config['index_page'] = "";
[/quote]

Doing both of these steps (the .htaccess and the config file edit) will allow you to go to http://localhost/aboutus.php
