63<h1>Running Multiple Applications with one Code Igniter Installation</h1>
64
65<p>By default it is assumed that you only intend to use Code Igniter to manage one application, which you will build in your
66<dfn>system/application/</dfn> directory. It is possible, however, to have multiple sets of applications that share a single
67Code Igniter installation. To do this you will put all of the directories located inside your <kbd>application</kbd> folder into their
68own sub-folder.</p>
69
70<p>For example, let's say you want to create two applications, "foo" and "bar". You will structure your
71application folder like this:
72
73<code>system/application/<var>foo</var>/<br />
74system/application/<var>foo</var>/config/<br />
75system/application/<var>foo</var>/controllers/<br />
76system/application/<var>foo</var>/errors/<br />
admin17a890d2006-09-27 20:42:42 +0000[diff] [blame]77system/application/<var>foo</var>/libraries/<br />
adminb0dd10f2006-08-25 17:25:49 +0000[diff] [blame]78system/application/<var>foo</var>/models/<br />
adminb0dd10f2006-08-25 17:25:49 +0000[diff] [blame]79system/application/<var>foo</var>/views/<br />
80system/application/<samp>bar</samp>/<br />
81system/application/<samp>bar</samp>/config/<br />
82system/application/<samp>bar</samp>/controllers/<br />
83system/application/<samp>bar</samp>/errors/<br />
admin17a890d2006-09-27 20:42:42 +0000[diff] [blame]84system/application/<samp>bar</samp>/libraries/<br />
adminb0dd10f2006-08-25 17:25:49 +0000[diff] [blame]85system/application/<samp>bar</samp>/models/<br />
adminb0dd10f2006-08-25 17:25:49 +0000[diff] [blame]86system/application/<samp>bar</samp>/views/</code>
87
88
89<p>To select a particular application for use requires that you open your main <kbd>index.php</kbd> file and set the <dfn>$application_folder</dfn>
90variable. For example, to select the "foo" application for use you would do this:</p>
91
92<code>$application_folder = "foo";</code>
93
admin17a890d2006-09-27 20:42:42 +0000[diff] [blame]94<p>Note: Each of your applications will need its own <dfn>index.php</dfn> file (the index.php file can be named anything you want).</p>
