What causes CodeIgniter error 404 to occur

Before we get into the solution part let’s first discuss what causes this error to occur.

This error can happen for many reasons. Here are some of them.

How we fix CodeIgniter error 404?

Recently, one of our customers approached us with the same error message. Now, let’s see how our Support Engineers resolve this error for our customers.

Initially, we checked the .htaccess file and could find that the customer forgot to turn on the RewriteEngine. Also, he forgot to set RewriteBase. So we added the below code in the .htaccess file.

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

Then we added the below code in routes.php. This is because a default controller needs to be set in routes.php

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

Finally, this fixed the issue.
