Laravel doesn't recognize "index" as the default action

Question

When I go to http://example.com/clients , Laravel response 404 Error , but when I go to http://example.com/clients/index , Laravel render the right view and run the index action.

My .htaccess file :

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
     RewriteEngine on
     RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
     RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

     RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]
</IfModule>

My controller :

<?php

class Clients_Controller extends Base_Controller 
{


     public function action_index()
    {
            return View::make('clients.clients');
    }



}

My Routes.php

Route::controller(Controller::detect(),'home.index');

Answer 1

I removed :

Route::controller(Controller::detect(),'home.index');

and replace it by :

Route::controller('clients');
