Configuring Codeigniter for subfolder is easy. Here the steps :
1. Create .htaccess at root instalation folder
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 | <ifModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On # Because it located in http://localhost/codeigniter, so rewriteBase will have same value RewriteBase /codeigniter/ #Removes access to the system folder by users. #Additionally this will allow you to create a System.php controller, #previously this would not have been possible. #’system’ can be replaced if you have renamed your system folder. RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^system.* RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?/$1 [L] #When your application folder isn’t in the system folder #This snippet prevents user access to the application folder #Submitted by: Fabdrol #Rename ‘application’ to your applications folder name. RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^application.* RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?/$1 [L] #Checks to see if the user is attempting to access a valid file, #such as an image or css document, if this isn’t true it sends the #request to index.php RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?/$1 [L] </ifModule> <ifModule !mod_rewrite.c> # If we don’t have mod_rewrite installed, all 404′s # can be sent to index.php, and everything works as normal. # Submitted by: ElliotHaughin ErrorDocument 404 /index.php </ifModule> |
2. Empty $config[‘index_page’] in config.php
