Consistent 404 after initial success

Wow, way to make me feel stoopid dude! ;-)

I started everything from scratch and things are working again. Seriously, thanks for the reply. It brings up a related point I've been wondering about. I've noticed in the CodeIgniter video tutorials that the blog controller does not use the parent::Controller() constructor for the index controller. Some tutorials I've seen use it and others don't. Are there cases in which you don't use it, or are some tutorials just trying to cut down code for us newbies? The example I'm working with is working without the constructor so I'm a little confused,

cheers,

Wittner
