How to use controller with the name starts with "public*", etc "publication"

[eluser]cskevinwang[/eluser]
I have a controller named "publication". CI won't recongize it as a controller name. In fact, any name starts with "public" is not valid. Any idea how to solve this?

It works fine for me.

Maybe if you copy part of your controller code here we can see if it's something else that breaks it. Name itself should be ok.

Here is my controller code. It gives me a 404 error when I run it. It works fine if I only change the controller name to Pub or anythine else without "Public" prefixed.

Code:

<?php if ( ! defined('BASEPATH')) exit('No direct script access allowed');
class Publication extends Member_Controller {

    function __construct()
    {
      parent::__construct();
    //  $this->load->model('publication_model');
    }
    function index()
    {
        $data['main_content']='publication/index';
        $data['title']='Publication';
        $this->load->view('layout/master', $data);  
    }
}
//end of publication.php

Have you tried switching CI logging to max for few calls and see what is written in log file?

Is controller file name correct? If you save a file it should be lower case just because some environments treat file names with lower and upper case names differently.

Solved it. It's because I rewrote the .htaccess file RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|public|robots\.txt)
I used to put my css js files in public folder.

Happy days, things like these are usually, like you said, down to a really small configuration change in server somewhere.
