Noob problem! 404 not found[SOLVED] - El Forum - 01-20-2011

ok, here's the deal.
I have a page called main/index
I have a button that goes to main/index
I have a controller which is called main and has a function index
Here is the code:
View menu Sad

part)

Code:
<label class="home"><a href="&lt;?php echo site_url('main/index'); ?&gt;">Home</a></label>

Controller(main):

Code:
function index()

    {

        $this->load->view('main/index');

    }

When I click on the button I go to: localhost/main/index
Localhost/ is homepage and also the main/index
So both are same page but he can't seem to figure it out when the url changes
what am I forgetting?

EDIT: route:

Code:
$route['default_controller'] = "main";

erros code 404

Do you have an .htaccess file that may be restricting access? If you don't have an .htaccess that removes the index.php from the url, once you move from the start page, your url should look more like this: http://localhost/index.php/main/index
