New to CI and webservers. Have a running website done by someone else using CI and I need to learn how to maintain it. Also use mysql.

I have installed Zend on local PC and it works just fine. I want to install CI so I can get the hang of it using it locally to understand how it works (and relearn html) before tackling live site.

The CI getting started isn’t much help as it does not even give me a suggestion on where to install which files. Would it be a safe presumption to simply put the files in a directory in the document root?

Can someone point me to some examples geared for a real green newbie?  Also explain config files - especially config and database?  Not sure if it matters, but live site used Smarty at one time.

thanks in advance for tolerating my questions - and the helping hand.

There are TONs newbie tutorials of getting started with CI on the internet. Also a few books.

Yes, there are many, many out there - that is the problem. Each has it’s own approach and some disagree with other ones on how to do certain things. One can spend weeks hunting for and reading articles on the net - what I was hoping for was some suggestions or links. Already have too many books - even so called “getting started” ones, but none cover basic config settings, how they are used and format to use.

But, thanks for taking the time to respond - appreciated.

Any luck on finding the right and specific tutorial on what you really need?
