New installation—and the “Welcome to CodeIgniter!” page gives me links to welcome_message.php and application/controllers/welcome.php.

BUT .... I get 403 (access forbidden) errors trying to access these pages.

In my file manager, I found security was 644 - so I changed to 755 - but still no luck!

NB:  Not sure if CodeIgnite is the package I’m looking for, but being totally unable to access the pages I’m supposed to change isn’t a good omen.

Any thoughts anyone?

And what operating system is this running on?

Also this has nothing to do with CodeIgniter it is a server error you have something set wrong in the server!

Make sure that you did set the base_url correct in application/config/config.php

Hi,

The installation was on a Linux server, using Installatron from cPanel.

In other words, the installation was automated (once having chosen a directory to install into) and everything should afterwards just “work”.  Apparently not.

Should the files in the application/views/ and application/controllers/ directories have authority 644?  Or 755?

Many thanks…

Ok!

1) check your CI index.php file the system and application paths must be set to were CI is installed.
2) Make sure your application/config/config.php base_url is pointing to the right path, you tell this by
  going to your web site and copy the url for the base_url.

Index.php should be set to 644

You only need 755 if you need to write to the files.
