Install question

[eluser]dugley[/eluser]
This is a really embarrassing question, but how do I install CI? I FTP'd the files to my server at /ci/ directory and browsed to index.php but that did nothing.

I tried to go to ci/system/index.html but I get "Directory access is forbidden." Anything in the /system/ directory gets that error.

Sorry to ask such a silly question, but I could not find any instructions here or google.

Thanks!

.. but that did nothing.

What is nothing ?

[eluser]dugley[/eluser]
I don't know what to do to access the install wizard. I've installed Joomla and such programs and there's always an install.php file that I access to step me through the installation/setup process.

It this moment the only thing I've accomplished is to upload the ci files to my server.

There is no install wizard.
Read the user guide: http://ellislab.com/codeigniter/user-gui...index.html

[eluser]tomcode[/eluser]
CodeIgniter is not a CMS like Joomla. You will have to write Your own application.

Have You read the User Guide ?

After uploading the files, even without setting anything in system/application/config/config.php You should be able to see the welcome page of CodeIgniter 'Welcome to CodeIgniter!'.

Is your server even running PHP?

[eluser]dugley[/eluser]
My server runs PHP, Mysql and everything.
I am able to see the "welcome to CodeIgniter!" page. (index.php) but that's all. The main program as I've seen it on other screens does not appear.

I uploaded the files to: http://holyhoster.com/ci/
I changed my config.php file base url to: http://holyhoster.com/ci/
I point my browser to http://holyhoster.com/ci/index.php file, but I only get the welcome page.

I suppose if I can't figure this out, then maybe this isn't for me. But at the moment I'm confused as to why I can't "get into" this program.

Congratulations !

You got CodeIgniter up and running. Now You can start writing Your web site.

But I have the impression that this is not for You, since CodeIgniter gives You only a frame to write Your own apps, it dos not come with any prebuilt, ready to deploy functionality. You might want to look at WordPress, Joomla, ExpressionEngine, Drupal, a.s.o.

[eluser]Colin Williams[/eluser]
It's not a program. It's a framework. YOU write the program on top of it

Thanks!
I had the complete wrong impression of what it was.
Sorry for taking up your time, but thanks for the help!
Cheers!
