CodeIgniter Default Controller not found

Question

In routes.php i've set the default controller as so:

$route['default_controller'] = 'index_controller';
$route['404_override'] = '';
$route['translate_uri_dashes'] = FALSE;

index_controller is in the controllers folder titled: index_controller.php The content of index_controller is:

<?php
if ( ! defined('BASEPATH')) exit('No direct script access allowed');

class Index_controller extends CI_Controller {

 function __construct()
 {
   parent::__construct();
 }

 function index()
 {
   $this->load->helper('url');
   $this->load->view('login_view'); 
 }

}
?>

The error I get is:

404 Page Not Found The page you requested was not found.

Route can point to lower case name, but if it is CI v3+ your controller file need to be ucfirst (i.e. Index_controller.php). — Tpojka

If the version of your codeigniter is 3, then file name should start with capital letter.

Next, have you added .htaccess file ?? if not access the url with index.php. or use following code to remove the index.php from url.

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

add this file in root with name .htaccess

It looks like index_controller is a Controller name, not URL. You should write URL.

For example;

$route['default_controller'] =  'home';
$route['home']               =  'back/homeController';
