Error 404 on Apache server with codeigniter

Question

It's my first time i'm uploading codeigniter project to production and i'm getting error 404 from Apache server.

error : Not Found The requested URL /index.php was not found on this server. Apache/2.4.18 (Ubuntu) Server at roy.my-domain.com Port 80

I've read every article for 2 days and didn't found a solution....

So here are my settings :

Checked for rewrite mod in Apache - got "Module rewrite already enabled" My project is in /var/www/roy/ so the url is roy.my-domain.com/roy

Apache2.conf

<Directory /var/www/html/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
AccessFileName .htaccess

.htaccess

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /roy/
RewriteRule ^([a-z0-9_-]+)\.html$ index.php/page/$1 [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|asset|robots\.txt)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]
</IfModule>

config.php

$config['base_url'] = 'http://'.$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'].'/roy/';
$config['index_page'] = '';

autoload.php (i'm using Twig)
```
$autoload['libraries'] = array('database','session','twig');
```
- I added permissions to both logs and cache dir

The controllers structure

name Login.php - 
class Login extends CI_Controller

Did you have the same path structure on your development server? Just to clarify, is roy.my-domain.com/roy the publicly accessible URL? — MrWhite
w3dk - Yes - i did have the same path - the project is working well on development — RoyBarOn

Create a site folder inside your html one. Then, put your roy site there. Then, I would do it this way:

1 - apache2/sites-enabled/roy.my-domain.com.conf

<VirtualHost roy.my-domain.com:80>
    DocumentRoot /var/www/html/site
    ServerName roy.my-domain.com
    <Directory /var/www/html/site>
        Options FollowSymLinks
        AllowOverride All
        Require all granted
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

2 - .htaccess

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|robots\.txt)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?/$1 [L]
</IfModule>

3 - If it's not development, it's never a good practice to use the $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] superglobal. Can be changed from the client side. Just use the right url.

After you're done all that, restart apache. In Ubuntu is: $ sudo service apache2 restart
