Using Codeigniter Routing - codeigniter-2

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
