New learner/user...Need help on installation
#1

[eluser]forsooth[/eluser]
I've downloaded CI, but I have a perhaps dumb question. I want to use my local machine for the "server" -- localhost, I guess. I have WAMP installed.

The installation instructions give instructions for a remote server. Are there any available instructions (very explicit, very step-by-step) for a CI localhost scenario?

(Note: I registered as "phpdave" for the irony.)

Thanks,
phpDave

Move the CI files somewhere in your webroot. Probably the installation directory of your WAMP, and then the folder htdocs, could be set to something else too.

Make sure apache and mysql are running. Go to system/application/config/config.php file and edi is so the base_url is http://localhost/ Go to system/application/config/database.php and edit it with the settings supplied by your wamp installation. Server is localhost, user is 'root' although it's better to change this, password I don't know, by default nothing. With phpmyadmin you should go and create a database which name you can use in this config file.

Go to http://localhost/(ci directory if it isn't installed in the webroot.) If mod_rewrite is enabled in apache you can use the .htaccess files to have neat urls for your local site. Else, search google on how the enable mod_rewrite, it's done in httpd.conf files I think.

it´s better to tell us more specific what you want to know...
bringing the welcome page to run?
setting up mysql?

Thanks for your replies...NMWEB, I will give this a try! GUNTER, what I want to do is just to get started with CI, using my PC as the "localhost," not a remote server. My immediate goal would be to simply compose a "Hello, World" page and then go from there.

Thanks again!

copying the CI files to your www folder shouldn´t be a problem
and then type localhost into your browser :-)

Hi, Gunter --

I'm trying to follow up on the tutorial...When I go to the website, there are some files to download from a page saying that they are collected tutorials. I downloaded the first one on the list, labeled "003.rar", but I can't find a program to open it. Any ideas on what to do?

Thanks!
