I have a section called 'news' (url: /news) and have setup in my templates folder /news/index.html which I could access previously. I then created a route: news/* to go to another template and then deleted it. I can now no longer access /news and it gives the 404 error page. I have duplicated the news template and renamed it to newsblah and when I go to the url /newsblah I can view the page.

I have cleared the cache on the settings page. Any ideas as to why this may be? very puzzling...

The issue was I had a section called news which was referencing a template that didn't exist. Craft saw that for the /news url it should call the template defined in the section, but as it didn't exist it was displaying the 'page not found' page.
