index.php |

Hi, I just extracted CodeIgniter into XAMPP's htdocs folder. However, the installation instructions state that I should put CodeIgniter's index.php at the root. However, XAMPP's index.php is already there. So what should I do? Any assistance will be helpful. Thanks.

The index.php that comes with a xampp installation is just a file to test that PHP is working... It can and should be deleted.

Thanks for your reply noctrum. When I removed XAMPP's index.php and replaced it with CodeIgniter's index.php, and navigated to it using the following url Quote:http://127.0.0.1/index.php I got the following error messages: Quote:Warning: require_once(C:\xampp\htdocs/system/codeigniter/CodeIgniter.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in C:\xampp\htdocs\index.php on line 115 Line 115 in the index.php states: Quote:require_once BASEPATH.'codeigniter/CodeIgniter'.EXT; But when I also put the "system" folder at the root as well, I got the CodeIgniter Welcome page. But the instructions did not say to do this so what should I do? But when I put back and navigate to the original place where the index.php was Quote:http://127.0.0.1/codeigniter_1.7.2/index.php I get the CodeIgniter Welcome page with no errors. What should I do?

For a default installation, /system and index.php should be in the same folder. If they are in your webroot, you would accesss the site at http://localhost/index.php, if they are in a folder in the webroot (codeigniter_1.7.2/ for example), you would access the site at http://localhost/codeigniter_1.7.2/index.php

Thanks for your reply. What puzzles me is that CodeIgniter clearly stated to only place the index.php in the root, not system and index.php, so as a result, I felt that something is not working as it should. I don't understand, am I wrong?

I noticed somethig!! you really don't have to extract codeigniter at the root of the host? you can extract it to Code: htdocs/codeigniter

Thanks for your reply Blaze Boy. Yeah, thats what I did and it works like that. I was just wondering why it did not work the way CodeIgniter said it will work, i.e. 127.0.0.1/

Sorry guys, I finally understand, they meant to extract the contents of the codeigniter folder to the htdocs folder. Thanks for your help noctrum and Blaze Boy. |
