I'm trying to achieve:
I am using CodeIgniter.
I am trying to access http://localhost/mywebsite/uploads/. The directory exists, and via a 3rd party upload script, I can successfully write to that directory. However, when going straight to the URL (or referencing its files in an src attribute), it gives me a 404 error.
I thought the best way to do this was to:
Make sure my $config['base_url'] was set to http://localhost/mywebsite/.
(For an unknown reason, I can access /mywebsite/js/ but not /mywebsite/uploads/.)
I read the documentation and it said to:
Create a folder at the root of your CodeIgniter installation called uploads and set its file permissions to 777.
That works to upload to, but it doesn't work to access from!
I did it, I expected to see:
Either a directory listing or permission denied page. I even tried going straight to a file, like http://localhost/mywebsite/uploads/myfile.jpg.
Instead, I saw:
404 Page Not Found
The page you requested was not found.
What am I doing wrong?
