Hi from a begginer user of CI

[quote author="Zorancho" date="1240171196"]The only problem is that i have this kind of file structure: website folder is in www folder of the wamp directory and inside the website folder i have: system, images, css, js folders and .htaccess file from above.
When i go to an url in my address bar: http://localhost:8888/website/css i can get to the css file or to the images folder and js folder as well. How i can prevent direct access to those folders?

Ok, the most secure method, and the simplest, is as follows. For each folder you wish to deny access to, place an .htaccess file in that folder with the following line:

Code:

deny from all

That's all there is to it.

I know a lot of people will get you to jump through hoops to move everything outside the web root, but that isn't possible on many hosted server accounts. The method I have given you makes it as safe as if it were outside the web root, and will be a solution when you install on servers that do not give you access to place files or directories outside the web root.

Happy coding!
