Getting 404 for rewrite new URL rule - ashis - 05-28-2019

I define the URL structure

Code:
example.com/controller_name/method_name/product_id

, I want URL structure would be

Code:
example.com/product_name

but I am getting 404 error when trying to write

Code:
example.com/product_name

Code:
example.com/category_name

I am trying to write

Code:
$route['(:any)/([a-zA-Z0-9]+)'] = '/products/details/$1';

but its giving 404 error.

Already defined following code and its working fine:

Code:
$route['(:any)'] = 'pages/view/$1';

Code:
$route['categories/posts/(:any)'] = 'category/posts/$1';

Code:
$route['categories/delete/(:any)'] = 'category/delete/$1';
