Yep. I see what you mean: if

Code:

http://localhost/codeigniter/test1

(non-existent page) is accessed then <i>Fatal error: Class 'CI_Controller' not found in blabla/CodeIgniter.php on line 233</i> appears.

That means that there is no controller instance when the url points to a non-existent one.

If you really want to use helpers, views in your 404 responses take a look to this:
