Login System, help?

What you saw in the userguide should not be the issue since the validate_login() method should not be protected or private (that would happen if you start the function name with an _underscore)

If you put a die('here'); as the first statement in your validate_login() and then visit your site.com/validate_login - do you still see the 404 (not sure if you removed index.php)?
