Install Scripts

[eluser]Eric Cope[/eluser]
I have built several web apps I plan on allowing others to download and use. I am working on an installer. How have others made installers?

Eric,

Have you made any progress on you installer?

I just started writing one and have been running into a few issues since CI wants the db to be set but the user needs to provide the credentials first.

I have been working on a standalone script that get the credentials, creates the db, creates database.php for CI and then redirects to CI. One issue that I have right now is that when a user first browses they get an error from CI and I need to somehow send them to the install script instead.

I haven't yet. You could try adding a route if a file (the install file) exists...

Here's an installer for codeigniter applications:
