CodeIgniter app shows 404 when moved to production

Question

I've finished developing an app using CodeIgniter in my local machine, and moved it to the production server (live site) yesterday.

My problem is that when I load the site, it immediately shows me a "page not found" error (404). I'm 100% sure this has nothing to do with the server itself, since a clean CodeIgniter installation works perfectly fine.

I've changed the settings in config.php and database.php to reflect the new environment so it's supposed to work. The log file isn't showing anything helpful (only that it can't find index_php after loading the URI library).

Any idea how I can troubleshoot this?

Your help is so much appreciated.

Answer 1

Just found the issue. My default controller's file name started with a capital letter. I changed it to small (e.g.: 'example.php' instead of 'Example.php') and it worked.

I've wasted so much time on such a silly error. :(
