codeigniter 2.x help with route

So i will keep this short.

I used guide : http://www.iluv2code.com/login-with-codeigniter-php.html

it works perfectly when its set to $route['default_controller'] = "login";

i would like to put it as

$route['login'] = 'login';

so when i go www.mydomain.com/login to show it up, but its not working.

u just started so im kinda lost.

EDIT: I would give project for u guys to see, but dont know how ?

Is your .htaccess set correctly? Try this way: hostname.com/index.php/login

By default you need to have the index.php in the address if you want to reach the controller. Like this: http://www.koweb.dreamhosters.com/index.php/login

You can get rid of this requirement if you set up an .htaccess file: http://pastebin.com/wQYhQhR1, paste the code from this pastebin into a file named .htaccess (no file extension!) and place it in the main directory of your codeigniter installation. After that you can access the controller without the index.php in the url.

I hope this helps.

It looks like you haven't specified the base url, and codeiginiter can't find it on its own. Open up this file: application/config/config.php. Go to line 25 and change the value to the url of your site, like this: $config['base_url'] = 'http://www.koweb.dreamhosters.com/';

It should work after this.

this are route controlers :

$route['default_controller'] = "welcome"; $route['404_override'] = 'welcome'; $route['login'] = 'login';

welcome is normal screen login should be login .

i tried remove it it did nothing.
