Oh, sorry, missed the part of your question about the 404, it is the CI one.

[eluser]Cgull[/eluser]
Shone, happy I helped you Wonder why oh why, it is not working for me.

I understand from the 404 question that something is not right in my code? but then why would it work when I don't use the public_html folder?

Cgull, check the code in your page controller. If its the static pages tutorial from the user guide, the file_exists() check may be hard coded to the application folder, meaning it's likely pointing to the wrong path, and generating the 404.

Thank you, found the solution.

In my index.php file I had this code:

Code:

switch(dirname(__FILE__))
{
  case 'C:\sites\highlandcoffeeroastery':
   define('ENVIRONMENT', 'development');
   break;
  default:
   define('ENVIRONMENT', 'production');
   break;
}

Changed this line

Code:

case 'C:\sites\highlandcoffeeroastery':

to

Code:

case 'C:\sites\highlandcoffeeroastery\public_html':

Thank you all for all the help.

God bless you.
