Install question |
[eluser]dugley[/eluser]
This is a really embarrassing question, but how do I install CI? I FTP'd the files to my server at /ci/ directory and browsed to index.php but that did nothing. I tried to go to ci/system/index.html but I get "Directory access is forbidden." Anything in the /system/ directory gets that error. Sorry to ask such a silly question, but I could not find any instructions here or google. Thanks!

I don't know what to do to access the install wizard. I've installed Joomla and such programs and there's always an install.php file that I access to step me through the installation/setup process. It this moment the only thing I've accomplished is to upload the ci files to my server.

There is no install wizard. Read the user guide: http://ellislab.com/codeigniter/user-gui...index.html

CodeIgniter is not a CMS like Joomla. You will have to write Your own application. Have You read the User Guide ? After uploading the files, even without setting anything in system/application/config/config.php You should be able to see the welcome page of CodeIgniter 'Welcome to CodeIgniter!'.

My server runs PHP, Mysql and everything. I am able to see the "welcome to CodeIgniter!" page. (index.php) but that's all. The main program as I've seen it on other screens does not appear. I uploaded the files to: http://holyhoster.com/ci/ I changed my config.php file base url to: http://holyhoster.com/ci/ I point my browser to http://holyhoster.com/ci/index.php file, but I only get the welcome page. I suppose if I can't figure this out, then maybe this isn't for me. But at the moment I'm confused as to why I can't "get into" this program.

Congratulations ! You got CodeIgniter up and running. Now You can start writing Your web site. But I have the impression that this is not for You, since CodeIgniter gives You only a frame to write Your own apps, it dos not come with any prebuilt, ready to deploy functionality. You might want to look at WordPress, Joomla, ExpressionEngine, Drupal, a.s.o.

It's not a program. It's a framework. YOU write the program on top of it

Thanks! I had the complete wrong impression of what it was. Sorry for taking up your time, but thanks for the help! Cheers! |
