codeigniter in a subdirectory, some issues.

Hi malokevi,

>>> I am rebuilding a site for a client in codeigniter.
>>> Since their original site needs to stay active I am building the new site in a subdirectory.

As includebeer mentioned it is far easier to follow the recommended installation guidelines.

To prevent two conflicting live sites I find it far easier to create new sites in a subdomain (also to archive previous versions into subdomains).

Benefits:
1. only requires a single change to index.php application_folder.
2. the $system_path should be common to all installations and above root (easier to up/downgrade).
3. uses recommended .htaccess file.
4. application folder can be moved easily from subdomain to root and vice-versa.
