Installing CI in a subdirectory

[eluser]nvhack[/eluser]
I will try what you suggested and put the index.php in the subdirectory.

IN the meantime, Here is my file structure.

Here is my structure:

htdocs/ci/
htdocs/ci/images/tpl/
htdocs/ci/system/application/views/

My config is set to $config[’base_url’] = “http://localhost/ci/”;

This is running on XAMPP - no .htaccess files

I constructed a simple header view the with a css link and a image link. and load that view immediately before the view for the content like so
$data['page_title'] = 'Test page';
$data['page_header'] = 'Page title';
$this->load->view('header', $data);
$this->load->view('content', $data);

Here’s whats happening.

If I view the page like this with the trailing slash all is groovey
http://localhost/CI/index.php/admin/

If I view the page without the trailing slash like this
http://localhost/CI/index.php/admin

the view loads but does not load the CSS or the image. A look at the browser source shows that the paths to the css and image are identical.

This occurs in Firefox and IE and in other views.
