CodeIgniter - Getting Started, Removing index.php

[dovic3107]

please where we make the .htaccess file ???

[Verbloten]

@dovic3107 hi mate - place it in your wwwroot folder next to your system, application etc folders. You can create the file with a text editor like textpad. I think with notepad it's a little hard to save a file without a name! :) Good luck!

Things have changed since 2009. I think you need to remake this video and keep it more up to date.

This doesn't work on my localhost and I am using CodeIgniter 2.0.3. I have a feeling it is because of a setting in my Apache configuration, which I do not know how to change.

When I uploaded it to the server, I uploaded it to a sandbox folder for testing purposes. Whenever I omitted the "index.php" from the URL, I got redirected to the root directory (the main website).

So, I set up a new virtual directory and uploaded the files to there and now it works great. I wish I knew mod_rewrite. lol

yeah finally i can remove the index.php! thanks :D

[similingjester]

Thanks again for the default controller thing. you're the best :D

[similingjester]

you are the best!. At first, i was kinda frustrated. I thought i won't be able to use codeigniter on a localhost. Thank you for the starter boost :D

@phpciphreak Yeh I'm not sure why cause it's in 720p. However I can assure you if you watch it in 720p and you go full screen you can see it as if you are literally looking at my computer screen. It is very clear and easy to see.

I would defn be interested in more videos. Especially videos of you working on a small(ish) site.

Thanks for the advice on watching Derek Jones' tut. vids....unfortunately his videos don't come with a kick ass aussie accent.

[murproject]

Which text editor is it ?

@murproject Eclipse

[kabil0]

lol ending but nice tut!

[Verbloten]

@kabil0 Thanks... Viewers.. I'm currently screen recording LITERALLY every single minute of my development of a new site. A fly on the wall while I go from start to end on a small-ish site.. Would anyone be interested in the videos? If I also went and spoke over them as well? I'm not doing voice at the moment - just literally turning the recorder on and working for hours and hours! :) Let me know your thoughts...

[kabil0]

@Verbloten

lets have the beta videos as you go, with no voice but with minimal captions.

@Verbloten I WOULD LOVE TO SEE IT! lol i just started learning codeignitor today n so far seems pretty easy.. im used to stylingand programming sites the traditional way so actually, if you could make a tutorial on creating a template with css n all dat, it would be awesome

[MakingMovesMajor]

@Verbloten yes

[badasssucker]

man you sound like you were drunk

nice tutorial though :)

[tropejohn]

Awesome. Can you please share your thoughts on Kohana? Is it basically the same thing?

[SleeverThijs]

Thank you very much!!!

I have a question.

when you build a a php program i.e. myprogram.php in code igniter, when uploading on my server, do i need to configure my server in any way.

in other words what is required for my hosting account for this to work?

[Verbloten]

Well it depends on a few things. But you don't build a program called blah.php you build a bunch of controllers and models and views which sit within the Codeigniter framework. You copy the entire folder structure under "system" onto your web host in the public_html folder (typically). If you are using a db you would also need to ensure the db is created on your host.

[bakhtn]

cheers mate, that makes more sense. great vids, subbed favorited.

[mrtqd]

Thanks very much :)

[riopretoinfo]

Good work.

[bindaassbhopu]

cool keep it up

[cobby32]

Hey man, followed your post from whirlpool. I'm doing video tutorials too.

Search for CobbWebTV

But I'm gonna cover everything from HTML to SVN to OOP and Zend Framework to apache config. My concept is that most online tutorials just tell how to write PHP, but miss out on the nicks and nacks and don't show how to use things in application. I'll be sure to favourite some of your vids! I wish I had a voice like yours though! Mines deeper and boring :(
