Require help with special installation for production

Hi again t'mo,

I just understood what you meant by

Try the following (make the settings for application and system in index.php point to the right places above htdocs):

but I do not have access to create folders above "/htdocs". I'll send in a request. However how does this prevent the other sites from not being controlled by ci? Is it by changing the ['base_url'] param in config.php to "http://mysite.com/staging/"?
