$route[':any'] issue

[eluser]EEssam[/eluser]
Hi,

I would like to pull pages from the database and give direct links:

www.mydomain.com/[page_name_in_db]

So I created the following rule in routes file:

$route['default_controller'] = "welcome";
$route[':any'] = "welcome/page_lookup";

Now none of my controllers are being called, not even functions in my "welcome" controller. How can I fix that?

Thanks.
