Hi, I'm following CodeIgniter's tutorial "Create a blog in 20 minutes" and I am having trouble getting the helper, anchor and Scaffolding functions to work.

I can't seem to create links on my HTML page using the helper and anchor functions.

I put

$this->load->helper('url'); $this->load->helper('form');

in the constructor under parent::Controller();

and

<p>&lt;?php anchor('blog/comments','Comments'); ?&gt;</p>

within the foreach loop as specified in the tutorial. But Im not getting the links to appear.

Secondly, I keep getting a 404 Page Not Found error whenever I try to access CodeIgniter's Scaffolding page in my browser, like so:

localhost/codeignitor/index.php/blog/scaffolding/mysecretword

I can access

localhost/codeignitor/index.php/blog

just fine. I followed CodeIgnitor's instructions in their "Create a blog in 20 minutes" by storing my database settings in the database.php file; and automatically connecting to the database by inserting "database" in the core array of the autoload.php; and I've added both

parent::Controller(); and $this->load->scaffolding('myTableName') to blog's constructor. It still gives me this 404.

Any assistance will be appreciated. Thanks in advance?
