Tutorial - Static Pages

[eluser]desertprincess[/eluser]
Thanks...that fixed it. But I am stuck on the routes.php thing. Not sure if I should do this in routes.php or .htaccess with mod_rewrite. I am trying to rewrite/reroute the url www.myurl.com/pages/views/about to www.myurl.com/about without messing up other applications.
In routes.php I have:

Code:

$route['default_controller'] = 'news';
$route['404_override'] = '';

In .htaccess I have this one that I found:

Code:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>

    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /

    ### Canonicalize codeigniter URLs

    # If your default controller is something other than
    # "welcome" you should probably change this
    RewriteRule ^(pages(/index)?|index(\.php)?)/?$ / [L,R=301]
    RewriteRule ^(.*)/index/?$ $1 [L,R=301]

    # Removes trailing slashes (prevents SEO duplicate content issues)
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule ^(.+)/$ $1 [L,R=301]


    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^system.*
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L]

    # Checks to see if the user is attempting to access a valid file,
    # such as an image or css document, if this isn't true it sends the
    # request to index.php
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]

</IfModule>

<IfModule !mod_rewrite.c>

    # Without mod_rewrite, route 404's to the front controller
    ErrorDocument 404 /index.php

</IfModule>

Thanks!
