Hi, I'm not sure which paths or variables I need to change in order to make code igniter work outside the public_html folder

I want to have a directory structure like this:

Code:
classes

lib

 - CodeIgniter_1.5.4

   - code igniter files

public_html

 - Images

 - JS

 - CSS

 - index.php

I have no idea how to set this up.

I think I found a solution, I haven't even started using code igniter yet, so I'm not sure if this screws up anything else. So far I moved everything except the index.php file outside the public_html directory. I then changed the system and applications paths and wrote in a full path.

Ex:

Code:
$system_folder = "S:/site_name/CodeIgniter_1.5.4/system";

$application_folder = "S:/site_name/CodeIgniter_1.5.4/system/application";

when I load up the index.php it loads up the welcome controller, so it seems to work.

You don't need to change anything, just move everything outside the web root and include the index.php in an index.php file in the web root - explained on my site here: CodeIgniter Installation :-)
