routes help

[eluser]dippy[/eluser]
First off, hello everyone. i am new here.

I need a little help here. i need to have a url with a dash in it for SEO.

I have been going over the documentation and see i can use the routes.php to re route the page.

here is what i got, but its not working.

Code:

$route['solutions/hpprinters'] = "solutions/hp-printers";

i get this error:
"
404 Page Not Found
The page you requested was not found.
"

Even when i go to this url: 'solutions/hpprinters' i get a 404 too? but if i take the route out of the routes.php file i can then see 'solutions/hpprinters' fine.


am i forgetting something here?

i even changed the uri_protocol setting in config.php to REQUEST_URI


Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.
