Things to Configure Before Coding? - solidcodes - 07-25-2015
Hi guys,
Here are the steps I configure before start coding CodeIgniter.
0. Configure HMVC
1. Remove index.php
2. configure .htaccess
3. Set database connection
4. autload libraries; database, session, email
5. autload helpers; url, form, cookie
Can somebody contribute advice/steps and make these steps better/complete.
Thanks in advance.

4. autoload libraries; database, session, email
I have an objection about loading the email library from the configuration file. Load it manually within code where it is really needed.
The same is with the helpers (5.): In the configuration file load only those that you are sure that you would need very often.

Step 1 (remove index.php): if you do that, your CodeIgniter site won't work at all.
You probably mean to say that you want to use URL's without index.php in it. That's what you do in step 2 (.htaccess).
Step 6: Put your assets (images, stylesheets, javascripts) in the right place where CodeIgniter can find them.
Step 7: Configure the session driver you want to use (files or database)

What is H5BP? And where do you get HMVC from?

http://avenir.ro/codeigniter-tutorials/ - Check there the ToC for more steps. Environment, Composer, writable folders, timezone, default language...

However, for setting an encryption key for the Encryption library use the official guide http://www.codeigniter.com/user_guide/libraries/encryption.html#setting-your-encryption-key

I prefer setting the logged error_pages to be in the APPPATH rather than system
