Hello,

I am new to CodeIgniter.

I have been trying to setup CI to run on several hosts.

Not one has worked so far!


____________________________________________________


BASEURL

The tutorials on CI seemed to say that all you have to do is
set your BASEURL---and then you should be able to see the welcome page.

I have NOT gotten that to work once yet!

I tried several hosts and it did not work!

What I Did:


$config['base_url'] = “http://apple.com/CI/” ;



FOLDER STRUCTURE:


apple.com/CI/system

Put index.php in CI.



RUN:


http://www.apple.com/CI

Is this correct?

HTACCESS


There is a lot of talk about HTACCESS. But is that necessary
to bring up a welcome page?

The HTACCESS seems to vary from host to host.

It seems you have to Google around in the HOPES of finding the right HTACCESS file--and then try it.

Is there any better way?


____________________________________________________


DATABASE SETTINGS


Once you have the welcome page up and running, all you need to do
is define your database settings, you should have a working system--
to start testing sample applications---correct?

Is there any other setup that needs to be done?

Thanks for your help!

Hello Jdfwarrior,


Thanks for your reply.

I am running DIALUP--so I cannot watch VIDEOS.

I am simply asking whether the above setup is correct.


It did NOT work on several hosts.

What server are u using for it, and what is the actual domain you are using it on. I assume your not actually setting the base_url as apple.com/CI
