Problems:
- page not found when accessing controller methods/functions
- forms will not submit
- will only load the default controller
To solve the above problems, I read a lot of forum posts and discussions in the CodeIgniter Forum and found some enlightenment there. Here are the things that I did to solve the problems associated with Installing CodeIgniter in a Subfolder/Subdirectory:
- enable apache modules - you can do this in the httpd.conf file. I cant remember exactly what modules I enabled, but there were several of them
- used the following htaccess file (I put it inside the subfolder where I installed the CodeIgniter)
I just found the above htaccess somewhere in the forum. Use it at your own risk.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /foldername/
#Removes access to the system folder by users.
#Additionally this will allow you to create a System.php controller,
#previously this would not have been possible.
#'system' can be replaced if you have renamed your system folder.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^system.*
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?/$1 [L]
#When your application folder isn't in the system folder
#This snippet prevents user access to the application folder
#Submitted by: Fabdrol
#Rename 'application' to your applications folder name.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^application.*
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?/$1 [L]
#Checks to see if the user is attempting to access a valid file,
#such as an image or css document, if this isn't true it sends the
#request to index.php
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?/$1 [L]
# If we don't have mod_rewrite installed, all 404's
# can be sent to index.php, and everything works as normal.

ErrorDocument 404 /index.php
- in my config file, I set the following
$config['base_url'] = "http://localhost/FOLDERNAME/";
I think that's all. I'll just add here if I can remember something.
