Using Codeigniter Routing

Question

I have two controllers in my CI: teacher and exams . I have set teacher as the default controller using $route['default_controller'] = 'teacher/index' in the file routes.php. So when i type the url http://localhost:8080/New/ (New is the name of my project folder) , the default controller is loaded. but when I type http://localhost:8080/New/exams it says that The requested URL /New/exams/index was not found on this server. What Should i do?

Answer 1

You call it like this

http://localhost:8080/New/index.php/exams

If you want to remove the index.php you should edit your .htaccess in the root folder :

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /New/

    #Removes access to the system folder by users.
    #Additionally this will allow you to create a System.php controller,
    #previously this would not have been possible.
    #'system' can be replaced if you have renamed your system folder.
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^system.*
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?/$1 [L]

    #When your application folder isn't in the system folder
    #This snippet prevents user access to the application folder

    #Rename 'application' to your applications folder name.
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^application.*
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?/$1 [L]

    #Checks to see if the user is attempting to access a valid file,
    #such as an image or css document, if this isn't true it sends the
    #request to index.php
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|images|stylesheets|javascript)
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?/$1 [L]
</IfModule>

<IfModule !mod_rewrite.c>
    # If we don't have mod_rewrite installed, all 404's
    # can be sent to index.php, and everything works as normal.

    ErrorDocument 404 /index.php
</IfModule>
