Hey
there is nothing or not much in here because CI has nothing to do with server administration.
I strongly recommend to search the web for (what you probably mean and want to do) virtual hosting.
There are plenty of good sources out there, even a few almost ready to go configuration examples you can modify for your needs. I'd strongly recommend to NOT TO put your public folder into the root folder of the application.
So far I can judge it are your abilities to deal with access rights and the like not sufficient to deal with such a delicate task.
Here I put you my localhost configuration which is easy to transfer onto a distant server.
The naming can be different depending on what kind of OS you are using.

# --- CGI ------------------------------------------------------------------- #
# --------------------------------------------------------------------------- #
# IMPORTANT: If you do choose to place your CGI scripts in a directory already
# accessible from the web, DO NOT USE 'ScriptAlias'.
# Instead, use <Directory>, SetHandler, and Options like in:
#
# <Directory "/usr/local/apache2/htdocs/cgi-bin">
# SetHandler cgi-script
# Options ExecCGI
# </Directory>
# (Example) configuration:
LoadModule cgid_module modules/mod_cgid.so
ScriptSock /var/run/cgid.sock
<IfModule cgid_module>
</IfModule>
<IfModule alias_module>
<Directory "/srv/http/cgi-bin">
SetHandler cgi-script
Options ExecCGI
</Directory>
