CodeIgniter server based 404 - codeigniter

Question

I've installed CodeIgniter on my localhost xampp server in the directory:
localhost/CI/
When I visit that directory directly I get to see the homepage but when I try to vist any other page I get a server based 404 page. I don't get the see the CI 404.
I already tried playing around with the uri_protocol but I can't get it to work. Any clue?
routes.php
$route['page/create'] = 'page/create';
$route['(:any)'] = 'page/view/$1';
$route['default_controller'] = 'page/view/hello-world';
$route['404_override'] = '';
Page controller
class Page extends CI_Controller {
public function __construct()
{
parent::__construct();
$this->load->model('page_model');
}
public function view($slug)
{
$data['page'] = $this->page_model->get_page($slug);
if (empty($data['page']))
{
show_404();
}
$data['title'] = $data['page']['title'];
$this->load->view('templates/header', $data);
$this->load->view('page/view', $data);
$this->load->view('templates/footer');
}
public function create()
{
$this->load->helper('form');
$this->load->library('form_validation');
$data['title'] = 'Create a new page';
$this->form_validation->set_rules('title', 'Title', 'required');
if ($this->form_validation->run() === FALSE)
{
$this->load->view('templates/header', $data);
$this->load->view('page/create');
$this->load->view('templates/footer');
}
else
{
$this->page_model->set_page();
$this->load->view('page/success');
}
}
}
The "Hello world!" shows nicely, but I can't get the create page to work. The view is located in views/page/create.php

xampp !!!! is the problem the mode rewite is not working fine wid it .. install apache as a standalone , add php and mysql and you can work fine any way it will cause other erros
$route['default_controller'] = 'page/view/hello-world';
change that to
$route['default_controller'] = 'page';
then move it to the top so you have
$route['default_controller'] = 'page';
$route['404_override'] = '';
$route['page/create'] = 'page/create';
$route['(:any)'] = 'pages/view/$1';
the order of things is inportant inside the routes.php
and inside page.php controler add a function index()
