News Section Tutorial - 500 Internal Server Error

[eluser]imwithsam[/eluser]
I think I need the ../../ci_200_mcn/ in my path because of the way I set up my directory structure. I do not think the Static Pages tutorial would have worked without this being set up correctly. Hopefully this will shed some light on how I'm set up (for better or for worse):

Code:

ci_200_mcn
-- system
-- application
htdocs
-- mcn
  -- .htaccess
  -- index.php

But just to be thorough, I reset everything to be like your directory structure and I still have the same issue so I do not think the problem has to do with my application and system paths. Is there anything else you can think of?
