If I put any method in my News controller other than index(), the site won’t find it through the URL. No other controller seems to have this problem. I’ll demonstrate:

This is temp.php and it displays “got here” on the page when I go to “http://www.mydomainhere.com/temp/rate”:

This is news.php and I get a 404 error when I go to “http://www.mydomainhere.com/news/rate”:

If I go to “http://www.mydomainhere.com/news” “we’re in index” is displayed.

As a test, I changed News so it is extending CI_Controller directly. Nothing changed.

Any ideas on what could be going on?

you could try putting a entry in the config/routes.php file like this and see if it help:

i find it weird too that some times the default routing code does not work quite right, but when i put a entry in the routes.php file it works proper.

but sometimes it works without setting a route entry.

Ah, ha! Here’s what’s wrong. I looked in routes and saw this:

I deleted all that and, vola, my method started working.

I forgot that I put that stuff in there when I was doing the CI tutorials. Thanks Rolly! I’d have never thought to look there had you not mentioned it.
