Ci4 Install without vhosts

Thanks jreklund. There is so, so much lacking in the documentation, especially for newbies like me (I dont come from Ci2 or Ci3).

For example prepared queries DO NOT WORK and report errors when following the documentation to the letter (https://forum.codeigniter.com/showthread.php?tid=76743). Is this error expected? Is this a "real error"? is it a notice? Extending the documentation would do the product untold good.

This is NOT a good look for what is essentially a new product and I for one am losing patience with not being able to follow the published documents, and execute Ci code. To be honest the time I've wasted would probably have been better spent learning the complexities of Laraval or Symfony. Anyway, rant over, many thanks.
