installing on new PC - richb201 - 02-08-2019
I am trying to install CI on a new Linux laptop. I modified index.php to point at the CI directory at /Home/codeigniter/CodeIgniter-3.1.10/system, but when I type localhost in the browser I am getting
"Your system folder path does not appear to be set correctly. Please open the following file and correct this: index.php"
I modified index.php to be:
*---------------------------------------------------------------
* SYSTEM DIRECTORY NAME
*---------------------------------------------------------------
*
* This variable must contain the name of your "system" directory.
* Set the path if it is not in the same directory as this file.
*/
$system_path = '/Home/codeigniter/CodeIgniter-3.1.10/system';
/*
what is wrong? Do I need to also update the application_folder path?
The way I moved over from the Windows PC is that I copied my application directory which is c:/xampp/htdocs/sub_crud. It contains application, system, etc. Does this mean that I didn't need to do a reinstall of CI? Could I have just pointed $system_path at /var/www/html/sub_crud/system on the Linux PC?

Your ./application and ./system folder paths point to were they are relative to your index.php file.
So if they are in a folder above index.php then you would enter like '../system'
two folders up would be '../../system'
