codeigniter controller not being called due to directory with same name

Question

I would like to avoid renaming directories or method names if at all possible, this was working on a previous server before being moved to a new hosting.

My directory structure is as follows:

/magazine
/site
/site/config
/site/config/routes.php (routes contains entry: $route["magazine"] = "site/magazine")
/site/controllers
/site/controllers/site.php (site controller contains method "magazine")
/site/models
/site/views
/.htaccess
/index.php

Everything about the site works perfectly until I browse to /magazine, and it tries to go to magazine directory, when I need it to goto the magazine method within the site controller.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks! Mike

When I use my web browser to visit mydomain.com/magazine, its going to the actualy magazine directory instead of the magazine method within my site controller. — Mike J

In your htaccess file you probably have something like looks like:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]

Try adding an additional rule for "magazine":

RewriteRule ^magazine/?$ index.php/magazine [L]

Yes I have what you suggested, though without the check for the directory. Do I need another RewriteCond specifically for magazine?

@MikeJouwstra YOu should't need any conditions for that because it is a directory, except you want it to be routed through index.php
