Development mode ignored

It seems I've fallen at the first hurdle, I'm trying to follow the initial tutorial here: https://www.codeigniter.com/user_guide/t...index.html
I've set the env file to development, but when I view the public folder, it says Environment: Production on the footer. I have flushed the cache, checked the file on the server and waited a day, but still no difference. It's as if the env file is just being ignored.

Output command cat .env and ./spark env?

did you set env to dot env ? i.e .env ?

No! thanks for that. For some reason, I just saw the . in front when it wasn't there. Working fine now.

It seems I'm not getting very far with this tutorial: https://www.codeigniter.com/user_guide/t...index.html

I now have it saying development mode, but there is no flame showing to toggle the debug bar on and off as described.

Ah okay, base url was not set, that's not obvious from the tutorial.

ok your on your way at least ; i recommend having some sort of version control in place, so you can get back to where it was working . Git is OK if you keep it simple and stick to basics
