Codeigniter 404 error page, routing issue

Question

I have uploaded my web project using codeigniter on the server godaddy and I can access it thru this link http://izhi-ks.org/facelajm/blog

I have bought a new domain www.facelajm.com for this site, and I have updated the directory to /facelajm and I get 404 Page Not Found error.

so my ftp looks like this:

in the root I have another site which is joomla and within that dir I ahave a folder called facelajm.

In the codeigniter root dir i have a .htaccess like this:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f  
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d  
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?/$1 [L]

What I am doing wrong, that I cant open the site only by typing www.facelajm.com In fact it does if i only create a new index.php and print hello world... I am doubting on the htaccess or maybe config file?

here is config.php as well:

$config['base_url'] = "";

$config['index_page'] = '';

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

Answer 1

Change your .htaccess in the facelajm directory (which should be the root of your domain) to the following. I think you forgot to turn on RewriteEngine and forgot to set RewriteBase:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?/$1 [L]

Update

A default controller needs to be set in routes.php

$route['default_controller'] = 'blog';

Answer 2

If you using Codeigniter V3, check the first letter of your controller is in upper case, example:

 ci/application/controllers/dealer/Api.php
