We want to redirect the user to the signin
controller rather than default CodeIgniter welcome
controller. We will need to amend the default controller settings in the routes.php
file to reflect this:
Open the
config/routes.php
file for editing and find the following lines (near the bottom of the file):$route['default_controller'] = "welcome"; $route['404_override'] = '';
Firstly, we need to change the default controller. Initially in a CodeIgniter application, the default controller is set to
welcome
; however, we don't need this; instead, we want the default controller to besignin
. So, find the following line:$route['default_controller'] = "welcome";
Replace it with the following:
$route['default_controller'] = "signin";
