[Solved] Routing issue - need to redirect from url parameterized pages to new CodeIgniter nice urls

[eluser]ehicks727[/eluser]
Ok, I set to PATH_INFO and enabled query strings, and entered that control statement in my routes file. It's just going to the home page now. It never makes it to my reroute controller. I just did an echo "HERE"; exit; in that controller and I never get there.

Should I add some characters to this, or doesn't that matter?
$config['permitted_uri_chars'] = 'a-z 0-9~%.:_\-';
