My Dumb is Showing... a complete newbie question.

I'm using Xampp for Windows (using my machine as a vhost) and I'm having issues with it actually seeing and using CI instead PEAR.

I'm not quite sure how to go about fixing it. I'm also relatively certain that my base_url is also wrong, though I'm not sure how to find out of it is completely nonfunctional, or if I'm just crazy.

Can you explain more about your setup. Wear CI is installed, etc.?

[eluser]dana.severance[/eluser]
It is installed in xampp/htdocs folder.

As far as the etc goes... I've no idea where to start.

Hrm.. still hard to diagnose. What I do is have my web root at C:\local\www\ and then I have a folder for each of my sites. Using a current example I have a site at C:\local\www\thisloadview.com\ CI is installed in this directory, so I can simply navigate to it in my browser with http:/localhost/thisloadview.com. But, I've added a virtual host for it in httpd-vhosts.conf:

Code:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    DocumentRoot "C:/local/www/thisloadview.com"
    ServerName local.thisloadview.com
</VirtualHost>

Then I tell Windows to resolve local.thisloadview.com to 127.0.0.1, so I can just visit http://local.thisloadview.com and I'm in fact hitting my XAMPP server.

Sounds like you already have a front controller in your DocumentRoot and so it is handling the requests. You probably just need to move your CI install and front controller to their own folder.

Hm. I've tried something similar, but it still seems to be using PEAR instead of CI, which is not quite what I'm intending.
