CodeIgniter routes issues to access the frontend and backend folder - php

Question

I am using CodeIgniter. I have frontend and backend folder inside controllers and views. I tried server steps even check almost all the solution but still I am not able to access it my default controller
routes.php
$route['default_controller'] = 'frontend/User_control';
$route['404_override'] = '';
$route['translate_uri_dashes'] = FALSE;
/*backend*********************************/
$config['backend'] = 'backend/Access_control';
1) My issue is When I am accessing the Url http://localhost/example_ci_row/
I am getting 404 Page not found
2) How to access the backend URL I tried http://localhost/icube_row/admin
but I am getting the error
frontend User_control
<?php
defined('BASEPATH') OR exit('No direct script access allowed');
class User_control extends CI_Controller {
public $current_date;
function __construct()
{
parent::__construct();
$this->load->library('form_validation');
$this->load->helper('form');
}
public function index(){
$this->load->view('frontend/login');
}
}
?>
Backend Access control
<?php
defined('BASEPATH') OR exit('No direct script access allowed');
class Access_control extends CI_Controller {
function __construct()
{
parent::__construct();
$this->load->library('form_validation');
$this->load->helper('form');
}
public function index(){
$this->load->view('backend/login');
}
}
?>
Edited
It's working when I use below steps. I added the Test.php file in the controller and change the routes then I am getting the login page.
Test.php
<?php
defined('BASEPATH') OR exit('No direct script access allowed');
class Test extends CI_Controller {
public $current_date;
function __construct()
{
parent::__construct();
$this->load->library('form_validation');
$this->load->helper('form');
}
public function index(){
$this->load->view('frontend/login');
}
}
?>
routes.php
$route['default_controller'] = 'Test';

Hope this will help you :
The built in $route['default_controller'] will not work for sub-folders. you have to extend system router as per your requirements like this :
You need to create a MY_Router.php in application > core > MY_Router.php
<?php
class MY_Router extends CI_Router {
protected function _set_default_controller() {
if (empty($this->default_controller)) {
show_error('Unable to determine what should be displayed. A default route has not been specified in the routing file.');
}
// Is the method being specified?
if (sscanf($this->default_controller, '%[^/]/%s', $class, $method) !== 2) {
$method = 'index';
}
// This is what I added, checks if the class is a directory
if( is_dir(APPPATH.'controllers/'.$class) ) {
// Set the class as the directory
$this->set_directory($class);
// $method is the class
$class = $method;
// Re check for slash if method has been set
if (sscanf($method, '%[^/]/%s', $class, $method) !== 2) {
$method = 'index';
}
}
if ( ! file_exists(APPPATH.'controllers/'.$this->directory.ucfirst($class).'.php')) {
// This will trigger 404 later
return;
}
$this->set_class($class);
$this->set_method($method);
// Assign routed segments, index starting from 1
$this->uri->rsegments = array(
1 => $class,
2 => $method
);
log_message('debug', 'No URI present. Default controller set.');
}
}
This will allow you to use $route['default_controller'] = 'frontend/User_control'; as your default controller

Have you configured the Base URL ?
Application->config->config.php
$config['base_url'] = 'http://localhost/example_ci_row';
