Hello, when I had my site on development environment - it was url:

Code:
testurl.com

Now on production server my codeigniter app's address has to be

Code:
someurl.com/mysite/

I moved it there, and everytime I'm trying to run some function, example

Code:
/home/test

- it gets me into

Code:
someurl.com/home/test

- which is WRONG.

It has to be

Code:
someurl.com/mysite/home/test

- How to fix it? I did set

Code:
$config['base_url'] = someurl.com/mysite/

Move your whole application to mysite folder inside your root space?.

Use the HTML <base> tag, and relative paths to your application:

Code:
&lt;head&gt;

  &lt;base href="&lt;?php echo base_url(); //requires the url helper?&gt;" /&gt;

  &lt;link rel="stylesheet" href="css/reset.css" /&gt;

  &lt;link rel="stylesheet" href="css/demo.css" /&gt;

  [script src="js/jquery.js"][/script]

&lt;/head&gt;

&lt;body&gt;

  <a href="site/demo/">Demo</a>

&lt;/body&gt;

Hi there,

you can set base_url manually via config as you already stated. Bad if you use different subdirectories in development and production environment.

My solution for this nuisance is as follows:
In config.php where $config['base_url'] is set:

Code:
// determine protocol - needed if you run http and https

if(isset($_SERVER['HTTPS'])) { $protocol = 'https://'; }

else {$protocol = 'http://'; }

// set protocol and host

$root = $protocol . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'];

// $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'] is /subdirs/index.php, basename($_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'] is index.php -> replace to get subdirs and append to root

$root .= str_replace(basename($_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME']),'',$_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME']);

$config['base_url'] = $root;

Works fine for me, hope it helps

Best Regards
Constantin

That's a good solution. Also, Codeigniter 2.1 autodetects the base url if the configuration value is empty.

$config['base_url'] = "";

And since no one actually answered the question directly, the correct base_url format is a full URL to the directory where your index.php file is, including http and a trailing slash (as is properly documented in the comments directly above the config setting - READ). In your production case, it would be http://someurl.com/mysite/
