CodeIgniter 404 Page Not Found, but why?

Question

I am using CodeIgniter for two applications (a public and an admin app). The important elements of the document structure are:

/admin
/admin/.htaccess
/admin         


        

Answer 1

I had the same issue after migrating to a new environment and it was simply that the server didn't run mod_rewrite

a quick sudo a2enmod rewrite then sudo systemctl restart apache2

and problem solved...

Thanks @fanis who pointed that out in his comment on the question.
