Getting 404 using Codeigniter 2.1 - HMVC 5.4

Question

This is my first hmvc attempt and it's going wrong... I'm trying to separate my site zones through different modules. My intention then is control the access using ion_auth for hmvc. Thats my initial structure:

/application
  /modules     <-- hmvc
    /public_zone
       /controller
        public_zone.php
       /view
        ...
    /private_zone
     ...

So, to do this (being installed hmvc on core and third_party folders) I tried to setup as 'default_controller' the 'public_zone' controller. His mission is load the root page ('localhost'), but *it returns a 404 error.*

This is my public_zone.php file:

<?php if ( ! defined('BASEPATH')) exit('No direct script access allowed');

class Public_zone extends MX_Controller {

   public function index()
    {
      $this->load->view('include/header');
      $this->load->view('frontpage');
      $this->load->view('include/footer');
    }

}

Maybe the problem is on routes.php (application/config/routes.php) file? I'll tried this:

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

Anyone can tell me what Im doing wrong? For sure I misunderstood some hmvc concept... But the fact is I don't know why it doesn't works :(

First, it's important that you leave the CI structure intact. So you need the structure:

/application
    /controllers
        public_zone.php
    /views
        frontpage.php
        /include
           header.php
           footer.php
    /models

Ofcourse, you need also the other folders that comes with CI.

Second, you need some changes in the controller in order to make it work.

<?php if ( ! defined('BASEPATH')) exit('No direct script access allowed');

class Public_zone extends CI_Controller {

 public function __construct()
 {
   parent::__construct();
 }

 public function index()
 {
   $this->load->view('include/header');
   $this->load->view('frontpage');
   $this->load->view('include/footer');
 }

}

After this changes it's supposed to work :) Be also sure to read the user guide: http://codeigniter.com/user_guide/

It might cost you some time to read, but later it will save you a lot of time.

Good luck!
