Why codeIgniter show the requested URL was not found on this server?

Question

I want to ask. First of all, I will tell that I've develop an application use codeIgniter on my windows dekstop. And it clear and run completely.

But, after I move that project to debian server, it said :

The requested URL /index.php/Admin was not found on this server.

I want to ask, why I got an output like that? Eventhough I ran the same project with the same code. How can I do to fix this issue?

Thanks...

Did you done enough routing configuration for your application – Tumefacient

What version of codeigniter are you using? – Peppy

First check $config['base_url'] and .htaccess file values. – Thorlay

Answer 1

First of all enable mod_rewrite then restart apache2 using following commands:

sudo a2enmod rewrite
sudo service apache2 restart

then open apache conf file using command:

sudo gedit /etc/apache2/apache2.conf

uncomment below line if it is commented

AccessFileName .htaccess

then find these lines in apache2.conf

<Directory /var/www/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Require all granted

here change the line AllowOverride None to AllowOverride All and save this file.

Now, your issue is resolved.

Been trying to figure out with a site without Codeigniter worked and another with Codeigniter didn't, and your answer solved the problem! Thank you so much! +1 – Womanhood

Answer 2

Codelgniter URL example :

example.com/class/function/id/ 

So check your class name correct or not, And call url instead of Capital A - Admin to admin.

<?php (defined('BASEPATH')) OR exit('No direct script access allowed');

class Admin extends CI_Controller 
{

}  

Note: if you use codelgniter-3 version file name also must Should capital A. I mean Admin.php

I think the code is correct, because I also hosting it to another debian server and it's clear. But why in this server, I got output like that? I think that there is something about server configuration, do you know? Thanks.... – Ovation

Answer 3

First thing that you should know the debian is a Linux base server. So Its not like windows servers(XAMPP and WAMP).

So first of all consider about Letters. It means debian Sever is Case-Sensitive.

So check your naming conversation as well

Check these

1. Controller class name class Admin extends CI_Controller
2. Controller file name should be admin.php
3. Check in routes.php. In routes $route['default_controller'] = "admin";

Controller file name should be Admin.php upper case in codeigniter 3 – Peppy

@wolfgang1983 there is no harm with file name – Rockery

But that is what I have been told by the developers of codeigniter 3 because of some live servers. Works fine on localhost with lower case but when go to live that when may have issue. – Peppy

@wolfgang1983 But i check. Its work with no harm still. Some how you may be correct – Rockery

See codeigniter.com/user_guide/installation/… "Starting with CodeIgniter 3.0, all class filenames (libraries, drivers, controllers and models) must be named in a Ucfirst-like manner" – Ambrogio

@Ambrogio thanks for link. How ever OP question related to CI 2 – Rockery

Answer 4

after long searched I got the problem enable .htaccess file in apache by going /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf than search /var/www/html in that file after you got that line change AllowOverride None To All
