Can't finish tutorial. - weaboo - 04-19-2015
I tried to pass a Codeigniter tutorial at http://www.codeigniter.com/user_guide/tutorial/news_section.html
seems I did all step by step from the guide, but I met 2 problems. When I filled some stuff to data base, and created 2 news manually, and tried to click "View article"
By tinkering around I found that article actually exist,
Is tutorial guide old and out-of-date, or I failed?
Also same problem with the http://www.codeigniter.com/user_guide/tutorial/create_news_items.html
when I finished it,
Ty for attention.

Actually you have one error only.
Your "first" error is not an error, that is how codeigniter urs works, see http://www.codeigniter.com/user_guide/general/urls.html
For your "second" error check your form_open
try changing it to
PHP Code:
<?php echo form_open('http://ci.local/index.php/news/create') ?>RE: Can't finish tutorial. - ChicagoPhil - 04-19-2015

By tinkering around I found that article actually exist, but it has different adress /index.php/news/1st. But I don't know why it's broken and how to fix it.

when I finished it, I can't add news through web-form. It sends me to 404 page with ridiculous adress.
Ty for attention.
Try going into your application/config/config.php file and setting your $config['base_url']= 'your_base_url' and your $config['index_page']=' ' <---------- take index.php out so the value is empty.

I just did the tutorial and there is a slight error in the views/news/index.php file. In the anchor tag on line 9 it should be like this:
<p><a href="<?php echo 'news/'.$news_item['slug'] ?>">View article</a></p>
instead of:
<p><a href="<?php echo $news_item['slug'] ?>">View article</a></p>

It was changed, because in our case it worked in opposite way: Userguide CI 3.0 error.

Edited... I ate my words.
Upon further inspection, I now understand the problem. You are routing the first segment to (:any) for the static pages and then overriding that setting with the $config['news'] = 'news'
That is a bit confusing for a introductory tutorial.
I'm standing by my first post though, I believe it's correct.
RE: Can't finish tutorial. - ChicagoPhil - 04-20-2015
Ok so if you are in the browser and you have this:
http://localhost/cms2/news
in the URL
Then you need the link with the news in front of it.
However if you have this:
http://localhost/cms2/news/
in the URL
You need the link with out the word news in it.
