*Emergency* How do you upload a CI website onto a Linux server?

My config file looks like this: http://i47.tinypic.com/2i1o4z9.jpg

Is the format for putting the server address correct?

In most cases CI can detect the base_url correctly. Only if it doesn't work one should input it manually. I guess in your case it's something different that makes the script non executable.

Scripts in the php are accessible via your webserver?

Did you try uploading a clean CI installation to another folder and testing if that one works?

I'm quite sure though it's a problem with conflicting permissions of you and the webserver which I am however not quite sure of how to solve them.

I just tried it now (installing a new version of CI). I can finally access the CI folder through a browser, but I don't see anything inside (when I go through a browser). You can see the permissions from FileZilla, as well as how there's nothing in the directory: http://i49.tinypic.com/1zl4uop.jpg

Also, when I point my browser to ci/index.php, it should give the Codeigniter welcome message but instead says "The requested URL /~EE4717G48/CI/index.php was not found on this server."

Installing Codeigniter basically means uploading the CI folder to the htdocs root right? So I'm not sure why this is happening.

In addition to file permissions (I use 644, which works fine except for upload directories) some hosts may require that the files have correct ownership (user/group) for that account.

THANKS EVERYONE! It was indeed a problem with permissions, so with FileZilla, I right-clicked on CI and used "File Attributes" to set everything to Read Write and Execute. The Codeigniter welcome page finally works. However, I have a specific database error:

A Database Error Occurred

Unable to connect to your database server using the provided settings.

Filename: core/Loader.php

Line Number: 346

Does anyone know what issue this is? Thanks a lot for all the replies :-)

EDIT: Okay I solved the issue by setting

$db['default']['pconnect'] = FALSE;
$db['default']['db_debug'] = FALSE;

Thanks a lot.
