well i'm not a .htaccess hero either :p

did you try to set 'index.php' in the url you want to access?
e.g.: http://localhost/index.php/hello

I know that you can define which directories or files can be accessed or not by the user.
This is a verry important file when setting up CI.

here are some interesting links about this:
http://ellislab.com/codeigniter/user-gui.../urls.html
http://opinionatedcoder.wordpress.com/20...-htaccess/

the function parameters can be passed by url
e.g.

Code:

<a href="&lt;?php echo base_url() ?&gt;home/article/15">link</a>

home = controller
article = method
14 = param for article method (optional)

Code:

function article ($id)
{

}

and why would i point to the controller while i want to load the view and my page is in the view folder??

This is how CI works:

the view is loaded within each controller
each controller can be accessed by the url

it's all explained in the userguide
