How to setup CodeIgniter in your localhost with WAMP server


I've been developing a couple of website using codeIgniter framework. I only learned about this framework early this year 2011. Basically, I've tried installing codeIgniter from localhost and on the host server itself.
How to make codeigniter work is very simple and easy. Below are the steps to kick start your first website using codeigniter.

1. Installing WAMP
First and foremost, before you can have your website running on your localhost you should get a copy of WAMP(Windows Apache MySQL and PHP). It is where you can manage your server settings and Apache/MySQL services. So start downloading Wampserver now!


As you can see there are 2 buttons to download between 32bits and 64bits that would be basing on your system type. To check what OS type is running click Windows logo on your keyboard + Pause/Break and a window will appear.

After download, double click the file and follow the instructions given. Everything will be installed automatically  with the latest releases of Apache, MySQL and PHP.

2. Testing WAMP
You can see the WAMP icon on your desktop after installation. Double click and start the web-server.
This is the WAMP icon.




You can see the green WAMP logo. This means the wampserver has started properly.


















On your browser, type localhost and a page will display.




3. Download codeIgniter
The newest version is here.



Click on the Download button to start downloading the package.

After downloading, you are now ready to install codeigniter on your wamp server.

4. Unzip the file on drive C:/wamp/www



5. Setup project name
Rename CodeIgniter_2.1.0 on your desired project name. For example "myblog", then access the project on your browser with this url "localhost/myblog".

A welcome page will display.


Voila! You have successfully installed CodeIgniter and Wamp.

Get ready for the next tutorial and for getting to know more about CodeIgniter.

    Hello Irish, after installing WAMP in my computer and then I typed localhost in my broswer (Mozilla Firefox) a blank whitepage is displayed.
    Any idea, why?

    Hi kasuwaw kurat, have you started the wampserver after installation? On your desktop you can see an icon with "W", double click and check if the server has started. You can see a green "w" logo if it is properly started. I'll update the post above with the screenshot of the wampserver. please check and see.

    Thanks!
