Newbie: base_url? - El Forum - 01-23-2011
[eluser]ShawnMA[/eluser]
I've searched the forums/web and have been able to find what I assume is a quick and easy answer to my question. I just started working thru the 2 video tutorials and hit a small snag. In tutorial 2 (blog), whenever I attempt to use scaffolding or the comment_insert function my pages always double up the URL so I always get a 404 error. For example: http://localhost/CodeIgniter/index.php/blog/blue/localhost/index.php/blog/blue/view
I'm developing locally, and have my base_url setting to nothing (""). What do I need to config to ensure my pages always go to the correct location (and don't double up the url)?
Thanks in advance for your time and assistance.

Try this, it works fine (for me) on both LOCALHOST and ONLINE
./config/config.php
Code:
$config['base_url'] = 'http://' .$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] .'/';
$config['base_url'] = str_replace('www.','',$config['base_url']);
$config['site_url'] = $config['base_url'];
// maybe also define a LOCALHOST constant
define('LOCALHOST', 'localhost' === $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME']);
// above can be used in controllers, views, models, libraries, etc
// in a view
/*
if(LOCALHOST)
{
echo "<div class='tac btn' style='height:1; margin:4em auto 0em;background:#f00'>";
echo anchor('blog','blog ', "class='fwb tdn'");
echo anchor('blog',' show thumbnails');
echo '</div>';
} }
