Hi there,
I've been using CI3 for several years and I would love to start with CI4.
Unfortunately, by following the guide to set it up on my local environment, I don't manage to make it work as I expect.
My specs:
- I'm using MAMP 6.8 on Mac OS Ventura (13.2.1)
- the php version running on MAMP is 8.1.13
- CI4 is installed via composer
What I'm trying to do: I would like to use the MAMP htdocs folder (where I have all my website projects) with a subfolder "codeigniter4-test" and then open it from a vhost (i.e.
http://codeigniter4-test.local).
At the moment the only way the setup works is if I run "php spark serve" and open
http://localhost:8080/
Is there any way to make it work without spark and from a virtual host?
That's how the virtual host appears in httpd-vhosts.conf (virtual hosts are also enabled in the httpd.conf file):
Code:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName codeigniter4-test.local
ServerAlias codeigniter4-test.local
DocumentRoot "/Applications/MAMP/htdocs/codeigniter4-test"
<Directory "/Applications/MAMP/htdocs/codeigniter4-test">
Options +Indexes +Includes +FollowSymLinks +MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Require local
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
My .env file:
