Adjusting the routes.php file


We want to redirect the user to the tasks controller rather than the default CodeIgniter welcome controller. To do this, we will need to amend the default controller settings in the routes.php file:

  1. 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'] = '';
  2. First, 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 be tasks. So find the following line:

    $route['default_controller'] = "welcome";

    Change it to the following:

    $route['default_controller'] = "tasks";
    $route['404_override'] = '';
