News tutorial help needed

Sorry, I don't usually follow links. If it's not all in one easy location I generally skip it.

Look at the bottom of index.php where it defines CI's paths. APPPATH is dynamically generated and it won't matter where the /application folder is located (it's best to keep /application and /system out of root for security). If you hardcode the application path (and it's a relative path - like it is in the tutorial) and move your /application dir outside of root, it will break unless you use the predefined constants. It's just best to use the constants so you don't have anything to update (except index.php) if your application moves locations.

Based on that 404 page (I don't see 500 error) and the message it supplies, and the fact you get it if you also go to the home controller: http://loadersequence.com/ci/index.php and also the root of your site: http://loadersequence.com

I'd say it's your hosting doing this and nothing to do with CI. Are you sure your host is properly set up? Does it work from localhost?
