Hi Drewbee, Felyx and to all,

I am also using XAMPP, newbie in PhP & first time to configure CI, I would like to share also the same problem with Felyx.

I have followed instruction from Getting Started online documentation from CI;

1. edited $config['base_url'] = "http://localhost/";
2. edited $config['index_page'] = "index.php?";
3. edited $config['uri_protocol'] = "REQUEST_URI";

If i type the ff: URL = http:/localhost/ci171/

But still I've got this message;

"404 Page Not Found"
"The page you requested was not found."

If i type the ff: URL = http://localhost/ci171/system/application

"Directory access is forbidden."

Anything wrong about my configuration? Can I ask a favor from you guys for help? who have successfully installed CI?

Thank you in advance for your reply..

Try out all possible options for:

$config[‘uri_protocol’] = “REQUEST_URI”;

I am using AUTO and it works for me.

Thanks Felyx! I tried it many times, but still no luck, will explore more on this. I have read about configuring the .htaccess but I have to study more on this too..anyway thank you so much. Will be following on this thread.

leojay,

You may have a combination of .htaccess and config.php issues you are dealing with.

Visit the following link, which is what I have given to a number of people on a number of different occasions. It hasn't failed to fix anyone's problem yet. I just tacked it up on the net, because it makes good fast reference for myself when I need to start over as well, and it get's tiresome searching and finding the same post that fixes this problem over and over.

The following information should be a fix-all for anyone's setup on any host. If anyone ever notices a situation where it doesn't work, let me know. I haven't found one yet.
