Sad but true - help on the CI installation

Howdy,

Im new to CI and tried to install it based on the installation guide you guys provide with the beginners guide, and also followed other install guides available on the web. I just moved from a windows environment to a linux one so i might be really doing some crazy wrong stuff with this but i swear i'm loosing my mind :|. So here are my steps:

note: im using Xampp(Lampp) for linux wich kindly installed apache+php and mysql residing in /opt/lampp/

1 - downloaded version 1.7.1

2 - moved CodeIgniter_1.7.1 directory to /opt/lampp/ht_docs/

3 - changed dir name from "CodeIgniter_1.7.1" to "shout"

4 - edited ht_docs/shout/system/application/config/config.php

5 - changed $config['base_url'] = "http://example.com"; to $config['base_url'] = "http://localhost/shout/";

6 - opened browser and gone to http://localhost/shout/index.php/ to see if installation was successful

the page displayed:

Should it not be htdocs instead of ht_docs? Or did you change some config settings somewhere?

[eluser]meckanism[/eluser]
ops sorry it is htdocs my mistake.

EDIT: ok sorry guys problem is solved, dunno why but it started working now ( downloaded files and did the steps again and it worked fine, and i did do that like an hour ago with no luck ) maybe some files got corrupted i dunno, im just happy it works now Big Grin

So did that fix the problem or was it just a typo when you wrote up your steps here?
#5

[eluser]meckanism[/eluser]
it was a typo everything was set properly. Guess a re-installation fixed it somehow now i can start finally =) thanks for the help Dam1an!
