Problem with setup

Hi Jedd, thanks for your response.
I'm sorry to be jumping to conclusions too fast! Eager to start :-)

The User Guide seems a little confusing for a noob. I will explain what led to my confusion:

Point 2 says the index.php file will be at the root -> this leads me to believe we're talking about the root here.
Point 3 says to open application/config/config.php -> but it's not there! I'm confused now and, skip the 'base_url' part and start skimming through the rest of the text:

Afer the 4 points it talks about security and the system folder and changing the variable within index.php.
Smartypants as I am, i go check the index file and see this 'application_folder' variable.
By now I did check the folder structure more thoroughly and see that the $application_folder variable points at the 'wrong' address.
I change the variable and voila, everything works...

Just wanted to let you know how I got to this point.
If I may make a suggestion: please change the installation instructions so it reads system/application/config...
Maybe somewhere along the way it was decided to put the application folder in the system folder, maybe the person who wrote the (excellent!) user guide is more fluent in installing CI than he/she realizes but it is a little confusing now.

After knowing where the application folder was, I should've read the instructions again! Everything works like a charm. No error messages whatsoever. Can't wait to really get working with it now.

Thanks again for your quick response!
