Admin url is not working properly in codeigniter - codeigniter

Question

I have created a small application in codeigniter. Frontend is running properly where as admin section is not opening.
I'm trying to open as yourdomain/admin/index.php/user/(But it showing 404 not found error).
So how to view the catalog section of admin?
Here is my file structure and file content for admin
D:\wamp\www\CodeIgniter\application\views\admin\catalog\catalog_view.php
<?php if (!defined('BASEPATH')) exit(__('No direct script access allowed')); ?>
<?php $this->load->view('admin/inc/header'); ?>
<h1><?php echo __('Catalog Manager'); ?></h1>
<p>Coming Soon...</p>
<?php $this->load->view('admin/inc/footer'); ?>
D:\wamp\www\CodeIgniter\application\controllers\admin\catalog\catalog.php
<?php
/**
* Admin User Controller
*/
class User extends MY_Controller
{
public function __construct()
{
parent::MY_Controller();
}
function index()
{
$data = '';
//---
$html_string = $this->load->view('admin/catalog/catalog_view', $data, true); //Get view data in place of sending to browser.
Library('process')->view($html_string);
}
}

Answer 1

Do you have a good htaccess setup?
Without htaccess you can access admin->index(); this with index.php/admin/index/
Your admin controller file isn't in the right order:
/application/controllers/admin/catalog/catalog.php
Without routing (http://ellislab.com/codeigniter/user-guide/general/routing.html) you cannot make this work, and you need to change your class name from user to catalog.
Ideally, you move the controller to /controllers/admin.php.
Then you can do index.php/admin and the index function will show. No routing needed what so ever.

Answer 2

you can't access it in that way yourdomain/admin/index.php/user/ you have to try first site.com/index.php/admin/...
but you have to be sure you created a controller named controller/admin.php which loads your views/admin/ pages
cause if you don't want to touch the CI core or extend it the rule is
:
http://www.site.com/index.php/controller/method/params
so in your case i would do:
class Admin exntends CI_Controller{
function index(){
//admin home page
//www.site.com/index.php/admin
}
function users(){
//admin users page
//www.site.com/index.php/admin/users
}
//... and so on
}
No Routes needed and if you want to remove index.php from your url just place this htaccess in your project root:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L]

Please use the route file few settings and easily set the admin URL.
$route['admin'] = 'admin/dashboard';
