• What have you tried to resolve the problem? Where are you stuck? Does cyx.vix.co.in point to your own server at all? – Nico Haase Commented Jan 15 at 13:52
• Updates the questions. Pls have a look. – adbury Commented Jan 15 at 13:53
• Its not the correct url.. Just replace the url with some letters for this forum. But yes. It loads the welcome page for codeigniter correctly if it use just use cyx.vix.co.in/admin_panel – adbury Commented Jan 15 at 14:00

The following is looking for a file in the "Views" folder:

return view('welcome_message');

in your case it is looking for app/Views/welcome_message.php and this is why you are getting a 404 error.

Also you will get a 404 because your routes are missing the two methods you are trying to call. Add the following to app\Config\Routes.php:

$routes->group('/home', static function ($routes) {
    $routes->match(['GET', 'POST'],'login', 'Home::login');
    $routes->match(['GET', 'POST'],'admin', 'Home::admin');
});

Additionally, please turn on logging so that errors can be displayed. and help you identify where problems are...

You can add the following to your .env file:

CI_ENVIRONMENT = development

You should also uncomment the toolbar in the Filters.php file
