Yet another CodeIgniter noob, getting nothing but 404 errors from tutorials...

you will get 404 error if you put the SYSTEM and APPLICATION folder out of the www root folder.

file_exists do not know the $application_folder in your index.php.
so just comment out IF

Code:

//if(!file_exists('../application/views/pages/'.$page.'.php'))
//{
// show_404();  
//}

$data['title'] = ucfirst($page);

$this->load->view('templates/header',$data);
$this->load->view('pages/'.$page,$data);
$this->load->view('templates/footer',$data);
