i have developed a web app on code igniter .. this is the first time i am working on code-igniter .. after developing a web application on my localhost .so i decided to put my code-igniter web app on the temporary free server.. so i uploaded my site on this site 1freehosting... and then i imported my database .. after that i have changed the settings of database in database.php file .. and also i changed the base url in config.php file ..as this is my domain name http://hello.hostingsiteforfree.com/... so i changed it to this url .. but then i am getting a following error ... i dont know what is going wrong ..i have searched a lot but nothing helps.. and also i am forgot to mention that my .htaccess file is empty ..means there is not a single line in it

Answer 1

Have you removed index.php with .htaccess? If not then put it in the end.

Answer 2

Look at your application/routes.php and make sure that your $route['default_controller'] is correctly set to your default controller. As follows, this is my routes.php:

$route['default_controller'] = "home";
$route['404_override'] = '';

Also, make sure that your default controller (in my case, its application/controllers/home_controller.php and within it is class Home extends CI_Controller {...}

--

If that doesn't work, make sure your default controller is correctly calling your default view and loading it as such:

$this->load->view('home_view', $data);

--

If THAT doesn't work, then take a look at your application/config/config.php and make sure that the following are correctly set as follows IF you want to get rid of your index.php in the url (for clean urls):

$config['index_page'] = ''; $config['uri_protocol'] = "AUTO";

and if you're going for clean urls, do post your .htaccess (which should follow something like this: http://www.farinspace.com/codeigniter-htaccess-file/) so we can look at it in further detail and try to fix it if none of the above fix it.

Answer 3

Since you do not have any .htaccess to edit you url you must add an index.php when calling a controller like

http://hello.hostingsiteforfree.com/index.php/loginController

I tried accessing it via the url above and it works, but the database connection is not set up properly

in your config file where there is $config['index_page'] = '' if it is blank add an index.php to it

Check to see it works
