Tutorial directory paths/URIs, REVERSED in a few paragraphs—Can somebody tell me WHAT IS GOING ON??? - El Forum - 11-08-2012

I've been trying to follow the introductory tutorial, but it's totally confusing:—
Adding logic to the controller:
Earlier you set up a controller with a view() method. The method accepts one parameter, which is the name of the page to be loaded. The static page templates will be located in the application/views/pages/ directory.
Yes I've done that:— I've created a directory called pages in views and put about.php and home.php inside this directory. Now for the totally confusing bit:
Routing
The controller is now functioning! Point your browser to [your-site-url]index.php/pages/view to see your page. When you visit index.php/pages/view/about you'll see the about page, again including the header and footer.
It's suddenly morphed from views/pages into pages/view—WHAT IS GOING ON? IS THIS A MISTAKE?

Can you post your code?

Hi
I've just realised I made a really stupid mistake of putting html code into the pages.php file in controllers—REALLY DUMB and STUPID mistake. I'll have to learn to pay more attention.
BTW When I enter the URI = http://codeigniter:8888/ It loads the header.php and footer.php and home.php just fine like it's mean to. However, when I put http://codeigniter:8888/about.php, it gives me = The requested URL /about.php was not found on this server. Why is this? What URL path would I have to put to get about.php?
Thanks for your patience and help
Kind regards
Simon

Your URLs are always:
domain.com/index.php/controller/method
or
domain.com/controller/method
(depends on your config/mod_rewrite,etc.
So, to view your about page, you would more than likely have to go to http://yourdomain.com/pages/about.
