Hi!
m just using CI for developing one project. I have just created one controller named main and have been calling it a default controller by changing the value of default controller from welcome to main(name of my controller) but when i hit a url
http://locahost/mysite/index.php it gives 404 error but when again i put the default controller as welcome it shows the page. I have created the controller 'main' inside the applications folder inside the system folder.
Please let me know what is the problem.
thanks in advance !

So you main controller is in here for sure?:
system/application/controllers/main.php

Post your main controller code.

Default controller is defined in map config->routes.php
If your default controller is main it should look like thisroutes.php)

Code:

$route['default_controller'] = "main";

controller:

Code:

class main extends Controller
{
    function main()
    {
         parent::controller();
    }
        function index()
{
$this->load->view('main/index');
}

i have written my controller like

Code:

class main extends Controller
{
    function main()
    {
         parent::controller();
    }

function page()
{
$this->load->view('main/index');
}

do i need that name of function as index can i change it to name page.
or from where i need to change the function name from where the index function is called so that i can change to name " page" function

you can change it to something else yes, but index is loaded automaticly so if you change it to page your URL will be:

http://locahost/mysite/index.php/page

and BTW Thats the way I do it

Code:

$this->load->view('main/index');
\\main/index is the mapped view->main->index.php, if you do not have multiple map in your view map it should simply say: ('index');

sorry for the earlier mistake i've made.
my code is as below

Code:

class main extends Controller
{
    function main()
    {
         parent::controller();
    }

function page()
{
$this->load->view('main');
}
}

here i have a view as main.php and a controller as main.php in the controller i have a function page which i have to call when my default controller loads.
So my question is do i need to write an index funtion instead of page function. or how will my page functions get called when my user access following url

Code:

http://server.com/index.php

this url must call my page function which will load my main view.

I guess you could make your default_controller

Code:

$route['default_controller'] = "main/page";

and it should work.
