Codeigniter controller method 404 error

Question

I cloned a copy of Codeigniter from github today using this link: https://github.com/bcit-ci/CodeIgniter.git. I am currently running MAMP setup so that http://localhost:8888 points to my htdocs folder. My root folder is called 'time'. When I go to http://localhost:8888/time/index.php, I do see the Codeigniter welcome page. Also, I can go tohttp://localhost:8888/time/ and see the same welcome page, even though I don't have an .htaccess file in the root directory.

Here is the problem. I added the following function to the Welcome.php controller class:

public function test()
{
    echo 'Test';
}

This should display a page which shows 'test' when I visit http://localhost:8888/time/index.php/test. However, I get a 404 page not found error. Does anyone have any suggestions for understanding and fixing this problem?

Because localhost/index.php/test doesn't refer to the method test in the welcome controller. You would have to go to localhost/index.php/welcome/test or use routes.

They way you are doing it implies there is a controller named Test.php and it is trying to go to the index() function of that controller.
