Applications outside the CI installation folder.

[eluser]Josamoto[/eluser]
Hi all.

I want to have my CI apps running, BUT they must be sitting outside the CI installation folder. I know it's possible to host multiple applications, and the documentation clearly explains how to.

But, how do I place my apps outside the CI folder, contained in its own project folder, separate from the CI installation.

I want a structure such as this:
..\codeigniter (which contains only CI stuff, nothing else)

..\project01 (which uses and depends on CI)
..\project01\models
..\project01\views
..\project01\controllers

..\project02 (which also uses and depends on CI)
..\project02\models
..\project02\views
..\project02\controllers

I want to do this as I want to separate my application code and templates from CI, so it's easier to backup my applications, and it's also easier to update CI.

I always keep my repository code which is shared amongst projects, outside my projects individual folders, but still accessible on the same server.

Thanks for the advice in advance.

My setup (on my mac) is like so:

System folder:
/Users/..../Sites/CodeIgniter_1.5.4/system/

Then applications can reside anywhere, so for instance this contains the controllers, models folders etc (which I just copied from system):
/Users/.../Sites/myapp/application/

And then in:
/Users/.../Sites/myapp/html/index.php

I have this:

Code:

$system_folder = "../../CodeIgniter_1.5.4/system";
$application_folder = "../application";
