I get URL not found issue error using codeigniter in Ubuntu 14.04

Ok you first need to enable mod_rewrite

sudo a2enmod rewritesudo service apache2 restart

then open apache conf file

sudo gedit /etc/apache2/apache2.conf

uncomment this line if it is commented

AccessFileName .htaccess

you need to change AllowOverride to All - note my root is var/www/html yours might be just var/www

<Directory /var/www/html/>Options Indexes FollowSymLinksAllowOverride AllRequire all granted

Restart apache and that should do the trick

sudo service apache2 restart
