| <h1>Installation Instructions</h1> | |
| <p>Code Igniter is installed in four steps:</p> | |
| <ol> | |
| <li>Unzip the package.</li> | |
| <li>Upload the Code Igniter folders and files to your server. Normally the index.php file will be at your root.</li> | |
| <li>Open the <dfn>application/config/config.php</dfn> file with a text editor and set your base URL.</li> | |
| <li>If you intend to use a database, open the <dfn>application/config/database.php</dfn> file with a text editor and set your database settings.</li> | |
| </ol> | |
| <p>If you wish to increase security by hiding the location of your Code Igniter files you can rename the <dfn>system</dfn> folder | |
| to something more private. If you do rename it, you must open your main <kbd>index.php</kbd> file and set the <samp>$system_folder</samp> | |
| variable at the top of the page with the new name you've chosen.</p> | |
| <p>That's it!</p> | |
| <p>If you're new to Code Igniter, please read the <a href="../general/index.html">Getting Started</a> section of the User Guide to begin learning how | |
| to build dynamic PHP applications. Enjoy!</p> | |
| <h2>Troubleshooting</h2> | |
| <p>If you find that no matter what you put in your URL only your default page is loading, it might be that your server | |
| does not support the PATH_INFO variable needed to serve search-engine friendly URLs. | |
| As a first step, open your <dfn>application/config/config.php</dfn> file and look for the <kbd>URI Protocol</kbd> | |
| information. It will recommend that you try a couple alternate settings. If it still doesn't work after you've tried this you'll need | |
| to force Code Igniter to add a question mark to your URLs. To do this open your <kbd>application/config/config.php</kbd> file and change this:</p> | |
| <code>$config['index_page'] = "index.php";</code> | |
| <p>To this:</p> | |
| <code>$config['index_page'] = "index.php?";</code> | |
