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