Unzip the package. +#. Upload the CodeIgniter folders and files to your server. Normally the + index.php file will be at your root. +#. Open the application/config/config.php file with a text editor and + set your base URL. If you intend to use encryption or sessions, set + your encryption key. +#. If you intend to use a database, open the + application/config/database.php file with a text editor and set your + database settings. + +If you wish to increase security by hiding the location of your +CodeIgniter files you can rename the system and application folders to +something more private. If you do rename them, you must open your main +index.php file and set the $system_path and $application_folder +variables at the top of the file with the new name you've chosen. + +For the best security, both the system and any application folders +should be placed above web root so that they are not directly accessible +via a browser. By default, .htaccess files are included in each folder +to help prevent direct access, but it is best to remove them from public +access entirely in case the web server configuration changes or doesn't +abide by the .htaccess. + +If you would like to keep your views public it is also possible to move +the views folder out of your application folder. + +After moving them, open your main index.php file and set the +$system_path, $application_folder and $view_folder variables, +preferably with a full path, e.g. '/www/MyUser/system'. + +One additional measure to take in production environments is to disable +PHP error reporting and any other development-only functionality. In +CodeIgniter, this can be done by setting the ENVIRONMENT constant, which +is more fully described on the :doc:`security +page <../general/security>`. + +That's it! + +If you're new to CodeIgniter, please read the :doc:`Getting +Started <../overview/getting_started>` section of the User Guide +to begin learning how to build dynamic PHP applications. Enjoy! + +.. toctree:: + :glob: + :hidden: + :titlesonly: + + *
