tutorial security hint not working?

[eluser]gene292[/eluser]
OK, I figured it out. The problem is with the tutorial/static_pages.html
if ( ! file_exists('application/views/pages/'.$page.'.php'))
{
// Whoops, we don't have a page for that!
show_404();
}


So what is the right/good way to specify site root? Should it be specified in the view() method?
what is the right/good way to create view method?

This should be very basic, no?
Is there a moderator for this forum?
Really resisting urge to vent...
