How to use ~folders?

How can I create and use ~folders?

I want to access admin panel with this: domain.com/~admin

Those are apache user folders via mod_userdir. Not really related to codeigniter. You might try actually setting up a route in system/application/config/routes.php but ~ is probably not an allowed character.

You made a fast response to my response. I wasn't quite done. I have updated my post.

offtopic: I have gmail notifier installed on my firefox, with updatins set to 1 minute

let me try that

edit: thank a million, works now. I have a very strict list of premitted uri chars: $config['permitted_uri_chars'] = 'a-z0-9~-';

$route['~subscribe'] = "newsletter/subscribe"; and works
