Tutorial error...?? (RESOLVED)

What's the URL of the page giving you the 404 error? You can use example.com instead of your live domain.

A couple things you can try:

1) Load the URL helper to your controller constructor, and use the site_url() function to help generate the news slug URL.

Code:

// In News __construct():
$this->load->helper('url');

// Replace your link URL with:
<?php echo site_url('news/' . $news_item['slug']); ?>

2) In your controller's view() method, replace show_404() with something like

Code:

exit('The error is here.');

If your browser then displays the error message instead of CI's 404 page, then you know your model isn't returning the data it's expected to.
