For testing purpose, I copied all the code and DB records from our live server to a local server.
Our live server is redirecting www.our-site.eu to www.our-site.eu/en and then display the homepage with specific language.
The same code, same DB hosted locally, is totally failing. localhost is well redirected to localhost/en. But then an error 404 happend : The requested URL /en/ was not found on this server.

$EXT->_call_hook('pre_controller');

$hook['pre_controller'][] = array(

$hook['pre_controller'][] = array(
'class' => 'MY_Lang',
'function' => 'define_language',
'filename' => 'MY_Lang.php',
'filepath' => 'core',
'params' => array()
);
$hook['pre_controller'][] = array(

My main config.php have to following line $config['base_url'] = 'http://localhost/';
I am pretty new to CodeIgniter, so I do not really know why it is working on the live server and not locally.
The url_rewriting is active on both servers.
