had your same problem just now , simply move .htaccess file to the root of your working directory just take it out of application folder

Problem

I am having problems with my routing. My default controller (mysite.com) will work, but if I try anything else (e.g. mysite.com/dashboard), it goes to a server based 404, not a CodeIgniter one. It's very confusing, as at the moment I only have 2 paths in my routes.php file. Here are the non-commented sections of my routes.php file: ``` $route['404_override'] = ''; $route['default_controller'] = 'pages/view'; $route['(:any)'] = 'pages/view/$1'; ``` My controller is located in /application/controllers/pages.php. I don't think its a .htaccess issue (as it can get to the default controller), but here is my .htaccess file: ``` RewriteEngine On RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|styles|scripts|images|robots\.txt) RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?$1 #<IfModule mod_gzip.c> # mod_gzip_on Yes # mod_gzip_dechunk Yes # mod_gzip_item_include file \.(html?|txt|css|js|php|pl)$ # mod_gzip_item_include handler ^cgi-script$ # mod_gzip_item_include mime ^text/.* # mod_gzip_item_include mime ^application/x-javascript.* # mod_gzip_item_exclude mime ^image/.* # mod_gzip_item_exclude rspheader ^Content-Encoding:.*gzip.* #</IfModule> ``` Edit Here is the pages controller: ``` <?php class Pages extends CI_Controller { public function __construct() { //Construct it's parent parent::__construct(); //Check login //$this->load->model('pages_model'); //$this->pages_model->getLoginStatus(); } public function view($page = 'dashboard') { //If the file doesn't exist if ( ! file_exists('/var/www/vhosts/mysite/httpdocs/library/application/views/pages/'.$page.'.php')) { // Whoops, we don't have a page for that! show_404(); } $data['title'] = ucfirst($page); // Capitalize the first letter //Load all necessary views $this->load->view('templates/head', $data); $this->load->view('templates/header', $data); $this->load->view('pages/'.$page, $data); $this->load->view('templates/footer', $data); } } ?> ```
