How to use CI with multiple folders

[eluser]Tim Brownlaw[/eluser]
[quote author="Carl_A" date="1265470045"]1. I do have an index() function.. and strangely everything works as long as I dont put the .htaccess file and use a complete link with index.php ( www.example.com/index.php/admin/controller_name )
It works perfectly with these links.

2. I followed the article here : http://codeigniter.com/wiki/mod_rewrite/

Every other controller (outside the subfolder) works perfectly with both
www.example.com/index.php/controller_1

And
www.example.com/controller_1

Its just the ones with the subfolder thats causing a problem.[/quote]

I've just got this working.

I can create a folder for instance - controllers/fred
Under fred I created the controller has_a_big_nose.php ( my apologies to all the Freds out there)

So a call to www.mysite.com/fred/has_a_big_nose works a treat.

I used the very same htaccess file as you have listed, so it's not that causing the problem.

- I'm using 1.7.2,
- I've got my installation under public_html (to help prevent the snoopers snooping)
- used the same htaccess file as you've mentioned.
- I even had the $config['index_page'] = "index"; and it still worked. I've now blanked it with no change to operation.

I'm a bit puzzled as to why it's not working for you unless something else is going on.

What I did find is that you can only go one subfolder deep which is more than adequate.

I've actually obscured my admin with something like controllers/furry_rabbits/admin.php
Making my admin home page accessible via - www.mysite.com/furry_rabbits/admin

If I think of anything else I may have done to get this working - I'll let you know.
It's been a flurry of coding tonight so I may have missed something that would help you out.

Keep at it, you'll get there!

Cheers
Tim

Hi Tim,

Thankyou for replying to such an old thread. Im unfortunately still having trouble with this issue.

Considering we have both used similar folder structures, .htaccess files and config, I fail to understand why its not working for me.

Maybe theres something that I missed? Are there any specific steps I needed to take to ensure this works for me? If so please let me know so I can back-track.
