redirect to /htdocs? about ci3-fire-starter HOT 4 CLOSED

Hi Evan,

The contents of the htdocs folder should be in your web root. For example, on Bluehost, the webroot is 'public_html'. Application and system should be above your web root. If you do that, it should work fine. There's already an .htaccess file in the htdocs folder. Then modify /application/config/core.php and set $config['root_folder'] to match your server's webroot (htdocs, public_html, etc.)

Jason,
Thanks for the quick reply! Does Fire Starter presume/ require this hierarchy? Just curious.

It can be changed, but this is the recommended structure for best security.

from ci3-fire-starter.

If you are not using a vhost, for example if the starter-kit is installed in the www/ci3-firestarter/ folder (www being your web-root)
Add a .htaccess file to the www/ci3-firestarter/ folder with the following contents:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^$ htdocs [L]

And in the config.php file, modify the base_url like this:

$config['base_url'] = 'http://localhost/ci3-firestarter/htdocs/';

So, in your browser, when you access this url:

http://localhost/ci3-firestarter/

You will be automatically redirected to:

http://localhost/ci3-firestarter/htdocs/
