Post and routing problem

Hi guys.

I'm going through the News app tutorial and have an issue with posting and redirecting to a succes page when I submit a form. The data is not being sent to the database and I'm getting a "unable to be loaded"-page. It tries to load this url: [::1]/news-app/index.php/news/create instead of the success.php. I'm working locally with a mamp server.

Here is my code:


Controller:

Code:

    class News extends CI_Controller
    {
        public function __construct()
        {
            parent::__construct();
            $this->load->model('news_model');
            $this->load->helper('url_helper');
        }

        public function index()
        {
            $data['news'] = $this->news_model->get_news();
            $data['title'] = 'News archive';

            $this->load->view('templates/header', $data);
            $this->load->view('news/index', $data);
            $this->load->view('templates/footer');
        }

        public function view($slug = NULL)
        {
            $data['news_item'] = $this->news_model->get_news($slug);

            if(empty($data[news_item]))
            {
                show_404();
            }
            $data['title'] = $data['news_item']['title'];

            $this->load->view('templates/header', $data);
            $this->load->view('news/view', $data);
            $this->load->view('templates/footer');
        }

        public function create()
        {
            $this->load->helper('form');
            $this->load->library('form_validation');

            $data['title'] = 'Create a news item';

            $this->form_validation->set_rules('title', 'Title', 'required');
            $this->form_validation->set_rules('text', 'Text', 'required');

            if ($this->form_validation->run() === FALSE)
            {
                $this->load->view('templates/header', $data);
                $this->load->view('news/create');
                $this->load->view('templates/footer');

            }
            else
            {
                $this->news_model->set_news();
                $this->load->view('news/success');
            }
}
    }

pages_model:

Code:

class Pages extends CI_Controller {

    public function view($page = 'home')
    {
            if ( ! file_exists(APPPATH.'views/pages/'.$page.'.php'))
            {
                    // Whoops, we don't have a page for that!
                    show_404();
            }

            $data['title'] = ucfirst($page); // Capitalize the first letter

            $this->load->view('templates/header', $data);
            $this->load->view('pages/'.$page, $data);
            $this->load->view('templates/footer', $data);
    }
}

news_model:

Code:

    class News_model extends CI_Model
    {

        public function __construct()
        {

            $this->load->database();
        }

        public function get_news($slug = false)
        {
            if ($slug === FALSE)
            {
                $query = $this->db->get('news');

                return $query->result_array();
            }

            $query = $this->db->get_where('news', array('slug' => $slug));
            return $query->row_array();
        }

        public function set_news()
        {
            $this->load->helper('url');

            $slug = url_title($this->input->post('title'), 'dash', TRUE);

            $data = array(
                'title' => $this->input->post('title'),
                'slug' => $slug,
                'text' => $this->input->post('text')
            );

            return $this->db->insert('news', $data);
        }

    }

Routes:

Code:

$route['news/create'] = 'news/create';
$route['news/(:any)'] = 'news/view/$1';
$route['news'] = 'news';
$route['(:any)'] = 'pages/view/$1';
$route['default_controller'] = 'pages/view';

Did you set the base_url in the ./application/config/config.php file?

What did you Try? What did you Get? What did you Expect?
