Installing a CodeIgniter application in a subfolder

Question

I'm trying to install an application made with codeIgniter in a subfolder, so that I can access it using : http://www.domain.com/my_subfolder/ At the root, there's a Wordpress application. I edited the .htaccess of the Wordpress install to let the request go to the folder /my_subfolder/

It's working fine, the only problem I get is that CodeIgniter is unable to dynamically load the classes in the "libraries" directory. So everything in the CI application works fine until it tries to use an object declared in the "libraries" subfolder, then I get a : Unable to load the requested class: my_class

It doesn't seems that there's a parameter in the "config" folder to change that... any idea?

Answer 1

Tail your error logs and see whats happening here. As everything is relative it really shouldn't matter where your CI install is.

Paste up your config and the error message you are receiving. Give us something to work with. :-)

Hi,

What you need is to edit your codeigniter config.php in System > application > config

and then edit config.php and set the property $config['base_url'] = "http://www.domain.com/my_subfolder/"

Well it seems that the config param base_url should be updated. Also, I used a library with the "MY_" prefix, and I should'nt since I was'nt extending any CI class.
