CodeIgniter 2.0 on OSX 10.6.6

[eluser]Unknown[/eluser]
Hey guys,

Not sure where I am going wrong with this at the moment wondering if anyone has any pointers.

I have enabled sharing, http://localhost/ says "It Works" and http://localhost/~user serves the default index.html under Sites.

I downloaded CI 2.0 into the Sites directory.

I edited Application/config/config.php to have base url http://localhost/~user/CI/.

When browsing http://localhost/~user/index.php/welcome I was getting 403 Access forbidden. Searched around online and thought it may be permission error? Changed the folder permission to read for everyone.

Now when I try http://localhost/~user/index.php/welcome it says file not found. I stripped back to the index.php and it displayed the php file.

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong at this stage. Any help appreciated.

Cheers,

you probably need to configure Apache to work with php and mysql. If you aren't comfortable with doing that then take a look a MAMP.

I prefer it when developing on a Mac.

Yeah I've setup CI2 on MAMP and it runs fine. So it's probably a mis-configuration somewhere with your webserver/php/mysql setup.
