The following has been tested with:
Configure your Amazon AWS server. First read the following guide to set up your server:
Start by installing composer :
sudo apt install composer
Install the following extensions:
sudo apt install php-curl
sudo apt install php-intl
sudo apt install php-xml
sudo apt install php-mbstring
Everything should be ready to install CodeIgniter with composer. I installed CodeIgniter
in the ci
folder with the following command:
composer create-project codeigniter4/appstarter ci
CodeIgniter needs right access to the folder writable
. Let's add the rights to the group www-data
:
sudo chown www-data -R ci/writable/
Check the /ci/public/
uri in your browser, you should get the CodeIgniter welcome page.
Once it works, you should update your document root folder in apache files:
Apache is configured with the root directoy located at /var/www/
or ou /home/ubuntu/environement/
. As
we want to use public folder as server root, we need to change Apache root directory for
/home/ubuntu/environement/ci/public/
.
Edit the file /etc/apache2/apache2.conf
with one of the following commands:
sudo vim /etc/apache2/apache2.conf
sudo nano /etc/apache2/apache2.conf
Update the following line:
<Directory /home/ubuntu/environment/ci/public>
Edit the file /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default.conf
with one of the
following commands:
sudo vim /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default.conf
sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default.conf
Find and update the following line:
DocumentRoot /home/ubuntu/environment/ci/public/
Restart Apache with the following command:
sudo service apache2 restart
You should now have the welcome page at the root of your server.
