can't get codeigniter to pull up

[eluser]lelales[/eluser]
OK, I installed Xampp, and it is working fine. I placed the CI folder in 3 places, in an effort to solve the issue.
1 place:: in my applications folder, with the Xampp folder
2nd place:: in the Xampp folder
3rd place:: in the Xampp/htdocs folder

I did update the config file for CodeIgniter. I even updated the Xampp index file to point to the CodeIgniter folder. None of this works.

Can someone assist me with this setup?

thanks!
