CI4 on localhost using XAMPP on windows - CInoob - 12-23-2020
Hi everyone,
I'm sorry but I can't manage to get CI4 working on windows using XAMPP.
What I had done:
- Update php.ini to activate required extensions;
- Manually download CI4 files and put inside htdocs/ci4/ folder;
- Edited file Config/App.php with main root: http://localhost/ci4/ (tried also with public/ suffix);
Result is 404 - not found.
I edited windows system32 vhosts file accordingly to the forum suggestions, nothing;
I also added paths on windows and check all other windows options as suggested in the forum, butt nothing;
Tried also using vhosts/editing apache files trying to load the local website as "mywebsite.test or mywebsite.local" accordingly to online/forum suggestions, but same results (sometimes also worst, CI dont load at all for config errors).
I remember when I tried this previously that I received some suggestions about edit inside the public/index.php because windows manage paths in a bad way that return this error. But I can't found that solution anymore/anywhere...
So I'm completely stuck on cI4 setup (strange becasue it was always one of strenghtness of the framework) and can't work on the real code for my app.
I hope you can help me so I can put some efforts on this project next days.
Thank you!

In Apache in conf/extra the file httpd-vhosts.conf should have the configuration as below:
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "C:/xampp/htdocs/ci4/public"
ServerName localhost
ErrorLog "logs/ci4-error.log"
</VirtualHost>
App/config:
public $baseURL = 'http://localhost';
public $indexPage = '';
These minimal changes should ensure the framework works.
By the way you can also edit the env file, in the path - root tree - Codeigniter and change, normally on line 17:
CI_ENVIRONMENT = production
to...
CI_ENVIRONMENT = development.
After saving the file, a period must be added before the name, e.g., from env to .env.
This change will allow a clearer view of the problem that is preventing the framework from running.

Edit C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts
You can use notepad but must be logged in as Administrator.
Make sure these are not remarked out with a # sign in front of them.
Code:
127.0.0.1 localhost
::1 localhostControl Panel\Programs\Programs and Features
Under Internet Information Services make sure World Wide Web Service is not checked.

Tried all this before. But I found the solution. Sorry I didn't said you I get last XAMPP version with PHP8, find out today that CI 4.0.X don't support it. All problems solved after XAMPP downgrade to 7.4.
Thank you anyway!
