CodeIgniter news/view doesn't work, page 404's - php

Question

I am currently learning my ways with CodeIgniter and I need some help with the view news part of the tutorial. It shows a 404 page. My site is Tristans.tk. Click on news and then on one of the titles. Here is my code:
this is my model:
class News_model extends CI_Model{
public function __construct(){
$this->load->database();
}
public function get_news($ID=FALSE){
if($ID===FALSE){
$query=$this->db->order_by("post_time", "DESC")->get('news');
return $query->result_array();
}
$query=$this->db->get_where('news',array('ID'=>$ID));
return $query->row_array();
}
}
this is the news controller:
class News extends CI_Controller{
public function __construct(){
parent::__construct();
$this->load->model('news_model');
}
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);
$this->load->view('templates/footer');
}
public function view($ID){
$data['news_item'] = $this->news_model->get_news($ID);
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);
$this->load->view('templates/footer');
}
}
and this is the view:
<?php
print_r($news_item);
echo '<h2>'.$news_item['title'].'</h2>';
echo $news_item['content'];
?>
the routes:
$route['news/(:any)'] = 'news/view/$1';
$route['news'] = 'news';
$route['(:any)'] = 'pages/view/$1';
$route['default_controller'] = 'pages/view';
news index:
<?php foreach ($news as $news_item): ?>
<div class='post'>
<h1 class='post_title'><?php echo $news_item['title'] ?></h1>
<p class='post_time'><?php echo $news_item['post_time'] ?></p>
<p class='post_content'><?php echo $news_item['content'] ?></p>
<span class='comment_link'>Comment</span>
</div>
<?php endforeach ?>

Answer 1

try change this
$route['news/(:any)'] = 'news/view/$1';
to
$route['news/(:any)'] = 'news/$1';
by using this: $route['news/(:any)'] = 'news/view/$1';,
if you acces yourdomain.tk/news/view/1
that actually you access yourdomain.tk/news/view/view/1

Answer 2

Change
$route['(:any)'] = 'pages/view/$1';
$route['default_controller'] = 'pages/view';
$route['news'] = 'news';
$route['news/create'] = 'news/create';
$route['news/show/(:any)'] = 'news/show/$1';
to
$route['news'] = 'news';
$route['news/create'] = 'news/create';
$route['news/show/(:any)'] = 'news/show/$1';
$route['(:any)'] = 'pages/view/$1';
$route['default_controller'] = 'pages/view';
good luck
