The Route::get() function is looking for a (auto)loaded Class, not for a file on the disk to load, which is why you're getting these errors.

It's more Laravely (Laravelish?) to include:

Controllers in the /app/controllers/ directory
Views in /app/views/ directory
Models in the /app/models/ directory

And if you are starting out with Laravel, this might be the best way to get started. The autoloader knows where to look for your classes then, and everything gets handled automatically for you.

With the NewsController situated in /app/controllers/ you can do this:

// no need to start the route location with a slash:
Route::get('news', array('uses' => 'NewsController@index'));

You can "package" up functionality using Laravel's Packages, but it would be better to check out the excellent docs and then come back with specific questions..

Put your Laravel controllers in app/controllers, since that directory gets autoloaded, and it is where Laravel expects controllers to be.

Then you can use routes like this (example straight from the docs at http://laravel.com/docs/controllers#basic-controllers)

Route::get('user/{id}', 'UserController@showProfile');
