Codeigniter 404 error is shown

I am following the tutorial-Static pages, from codeigniter website.

  1. I extracted the codeignitor zip into my local server.

  2. Edited the line 

    $config['base_url']='http://localhost/';

in application /config/config.php

  1. Created the file: application/controllers/pages.php to have following contents:

    <?php

class Pages extends CI_Controller {

public function view($page = 'home')
{
    if ( ! file_exists('/var/www/application/views/pages/'.$page.'.php'))
{
    // Whoops, we don't have a page for that!
    show_404();
}

$data['title'] = ucfirst($page); // Capitalize the first letter

$this->load->view('templates/header', $data);
$this->load->view('pages/'.$page, $data);
$this->load->view('templates/footer', $data);
}
}

  2. Created the file: application/views/templates/header.php with some HTML content.

  3. Created the file: application/views/templates/footer.php with some HTML content.

Now, when I go to 

  localhost/index.php/pages/view/about

I expect the 'about' page, but 404 error is shown.

Why is that?

Solution

  • please try following

    if (file_exists(APPPATH."views/pages/". $page. ".php")) {

   $this->load->view("pages/". $page);

}

    APPPATH = well self explanatory
