I'm having the same problem. I have Apache installed on my laptop, I read the installation instructions, I copied the CI installation files to a subfolder of Apache's htdocs folder, and I edited config.php and database.php. The installation instructions hint (only hint) that the way to launch CI is to open index.php from the root (the subfolder where I copied the installation files). Doing this only presents a Welcome screen in my browser, and a link to the Getting Started page which I've already been to.
Either I have problems with my configuration, or I'm not launching CI correctly.
My Base URL is "http://localhost/CodeIgniter_1.7.0/"
Thanks,
