Do you have PHP permissions to read external files?

These permissions might be different on your local machine and the web server.

According to the readfile() documentation:

A URL can be used as a filename with this function if the fopen wrappers have been enabled. See fopen() for more details on how to specify the filename. See the Supported Protocols and Wrappers for links to information about what abilities the various wrappers have, notes on their usage, and information on any predefined variables they may provide.

why would these permissions result in a 404? they'd just result in php errors, surely.
The OP states that he got a 'file not found issue', not a 404 HTTP response... You came with that one :)
Fair point, although he does say the screen displays 'File not found'. PHP protocol wrapper errors would be 'failed to open stream', 'Operation not permitted', etc..
Yes, that point is a bit unclear. The OP did not specify the exact error message (including line number if it is indeed a PHP error) or details about which mechanism (PHP, HTTP, ...) threw the error

*Please set the file permission so only it can be working correctly.. *

I don't think the code you've posted has anything to do with the 404. A code error with your mp3 download would not produce a 404.

Chances are your CodeIgniter setup is wrong/different on your remote host. Check the routing is working. Do other controllers work?
