Need help getting basic CodeIgnitor installation to work

Hi all;

I’ve been a developer for 15+ years but setting up CodeIgniter is baffling me and I can’t figure out what I’m missing in the setup.

I actually posted a question on ServerFault.com trying to figure this out: http://serverfault.com/questions/447631/need-help-setting-up-codeignitor-on-an-xampp-server-on-windows-7

I’m sure there is a simple config setting either in Apache or CodeIgniter that I need to set but it isn’t very clear, or I am really dumb.

In short I have XAMPP installed just fine, I “installed” (e.g. unzipped) CodeIgniter into my C:\xampp\htdocs\CodeIgniter folder.

I created a header.php/footer.php template, home.php and about.php, my pages.php controller, but I can’t get any content of any kind from CodeIgniter to render in my browser when I access the suggested URL’s.

Did I mess my setup? Or is there a simple config item I need to set to get Apache to route requests to CodeIgniter?

It maybe an ACL access problem with windows make sure you are logged in as an Administrator.

Make sure your htdocs directory is readable.

c:\xammp\htdocs\application-name\
-- application
-- system
-- .htaccess
-- index.php 

I am running on Windows 7 Pro
