| After getting welcome page what next to do ? - Does CI run on PHP5 server ? |
[eluser]bingecoder[/eluser]
I managed to get my (production) installation up to the stage where it shows a welcome page. However I am unable to proceed beyond this stage. Even the link for "Users Guide " gives me an error - 403 Forbidden "You tried to access a document for which you don't have privileges" , even though I have CHMOD all files and folders to be readable. This effectively means that the folder users_guide or any other for that matter cannot be accessed. Can CI be successfully run on a PHP5 server? Otherwise I don't know what is going on. Can anyone help ? How do I get to the CI workspace ?

Yes, CI can be run on a PHP5 server - it's actually much "nicer" on a PHP5 server (yay for method chaining).

Also, I think you have a slight misconception about CI. CI isn't a CMS, an IDE, nothing like that. You're spending a lot of time trying to get this to work so I don't want you to be disappointed: CI is nothing more than a series of classes and methods to make your programming jobs easier. It's a framework. You don't have to get to the Welcome screen to use CI - effectively, there is no welcome screen, it is merely a default view file that you would never use.

I installed and started exploring CodeIgniter only 2 days ago. So, I am also very much into learning stage  At first, For some reason I also had problems getting to userguide from welcome page. This is the code in: system/application/views/welcome_message.php Code: <p>If you are exploring CodeIgniter for the very first time,I do not remember how I did fix this 'userguide link not work' problem. Maybe it was something in my config file. There are some good examples of applications, if you read the userguide. The link to your local 'userguide' is almost like to index.php ....xxx/index.php ....xxx/userguide/index.html ....xxx/user_guide/toc.html whre the last one is TABLE OF CONTENTS --------------------------------------------------------------------- In userguide examples, I have managed to explore, learn howto use these 2 classes: File Uploading Class howto create a simple file uppload application Validation Class Very useful! Howto setup a form, where user submit: username, password-password again, email and these input fields are checked, validated. They may not be empty, must have a specific length, characters and the email entered must have a valid structure: [email protected] All this can Validation Class do for you and send the submitter back to input form while display error messages like: Your username is for short .... See these link in this website userguide, if you can not use your own userguide: http://ellislab.com/codeigniter/user-guide/toc.html http://ellislab.com/codeigniter/user-gui...ading.html http://ellislab.com/codeigniter/user-gui...ation.html If you follow the instructions, examples, in these both Classes, you should be able to setup your first 2 own applications ---------------------------------- PHP 5 is perfect for CodeIgniter Yesterday, I updated my PHP 5.2.3 to .... PHP 5.2.4 ... released 30 August 2007 Regards - php Master

My problem is that I am completely unable to do anything beyond getting the welcome page. Any other URL gives me an error. either 403 or 404. So how do I get to use the framework ?

I can navigate directly to ..../user_guide/index.html though which shouldn't be the case. Which file do I point to in order to start doing anything at all in CI ? I hope you appreciate what I am saying now.

I get what you mean... its more like of a question I had in my head... "So I installed CI, a welcome screen and a user_guide... now what?" I cant really remember every steps how I learned CI, perhaps this would help. first the video (although its kind'a passive to me & not enough to teach me CI/Mode-View-Controller paradigm) http://codeigniter.com/tutorials/ then I searched thru google and stayed for a little while on this site [thanks to Gobbit Project] http://godbit.com/article/introduction-to-code-igniter Note: I even made a hard copy of this tutorial. ---- links ---- documentation in chm format http://champs.name/ci/1.5/ in pdf format http://www.g-design.net/ci_manual.pdf

Read through the User Guide - beginning to end - plenty of info there.

You are the only one who has offered me any useful advice in 2 days of frustration. Everybody else seems just delighted to show me how much I don't know .

u should be more careful how u speak everyone tried to help, but the only problem is really why don't u simply do like everyone else? RTFM - Read the manual!
