New User Routing Troubles

[eluser]Unknown[/eluser]
I am just starting to use CI, and don't quite get how these work.

Code:

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

I can have those in there, and then going to my index page will load news->view() just fine. But adding on any other ones gives me object not found when I navigate to them.

Code:

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

Why doesn't navigating to news or news/view work if the route works?

e.g. http://localhost/folder/news doesn't work when http://localhost/folder does and they point to the same place. Didn't even begin to make it use another parameter.

Did you remove index.php from your URLs? If not, the link will be http://localhost/folder/index.php/news

That reply was enough for me to search for 'removing index.php', and finding another post linking to http://codeigniter.com/wiki/mod_rewrite/

The user guide's first steps don't mention anything about needing index.php, and refer to every url without it, so that's a bit misleading. Thanks for your help!

(The .htaccess in there worked immediately.)
