Sub pages not appearing

[eluser]ToddyBoy[/eluser]
I have uploaded CI for a new site I am building. I have created a temporary page saying that the site is being built, etc. This page appears fine. I used the default_controller option to point to the temp page when the root of the site is called in the browser.

The problem lies when I create a sub page, eg domain.com/services, I get a 404 error. I have used routes to point /services to the home/services controller - this doesn't work. I have tried a controller called services - this doesn't work. I'm really confused as to why this is happening. I have used CI on 6 other sites and all of them work fine. I'm not sure if this is a server issue or a CI issue.

I'm not sure of any tools I can use to bug track this. Any suggestions?

Well, it's kind of tough to say. Do you have any code we could look at?

There are many things that could cause that. Usually when I have a problem like that it is some small typo or oversight.

Are you using Dreamhost by chance? Not all Rewrite rules will work on different servers. Sometimes you have to play around with it a bit.

Try accessing the controller via http://www.site.com/index.php/controller and see if that works. That's how I found the .htaccess problem. I have a few examples laying around if you find that's your problem.

As has been said the last two times, we can only help if you show some code of what you have.
