It is possible, however, to have multiple sets of +applications that share a single CodeIgniter installation, or even to +rename or relocate your application folder. + +Renaming the Application Folder +=============================== + +If you would like to rename your application folder you may do so as +long as you open your main index.php file and set its name using the +$application_folder variable:: + + $application_folder = "application"; + +Relocating your Application Folder +================================== + +It is possible to move your application folder to a different location +on your server than your system folder. To do so open your main +index.php and set a *full server path* in the $application_folder +variable. + +:: + + $application_folder = "/Path/to/your/application"; + +Running Multiple Applications with one CodeIgniter Installation +=============================================================== + +If you would like to share a common CodeIgniter installation to manage +several different applications simply put all of the directories located +inside your application folder into their own sub-folder. + +For example, let's say you want to create two applications, "foo" and +"bar". You could structure your application folders like this:: + + applications/foo/ + applications/foo/config/ + applications/foo/controllers/ + applications/foo/errors/ + applications/foo/libraries/ + applications/foo/models/ + applications/foo/views/ + applications/bar/ + applications/bar/config/ + applications/bar/controllers/ + applications/bar/errors/ + applications/bar/libraries/ + applications/bar/models/ + applications/bar/views/ + +To select a particular application for use requires that you open your +main index.php file and set the $application_folder variable. For +example, to select the "foo" application for use you would do this:: + + $application_folder = "applications/foo"; + +.. note:: Each of your applications will need its own index.php file + which calls the desired application. The index.php file can be named + anything you want. |
