It’s actually pretty simple!

I dropped the codeigniter files in /var/www/vhosts/.skel/0/httpdocs/

Modified /var/www/vhosts/.skel/0/httpdocs/system/application/config/config.php

and changed:

$config[‘base_url’]    = “”;

to:

$config[‘base_url’]    = “http://{$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']}/”;

Works like a charm! Doubt to many people will use it, but what the hell, right? 😊

I use plesk. It’s scary. My favourite part about plesk is that the backup system doesn’t actually work. You’d never be able to restore your sites after a crash. Never…

Works fine for me. I used the backup to move from a VDed to a Dedicated box.

If you try to restore a 7.5/7.6 backup on 8.x.. yeah. Fail.

If they aren’t working.. you just aren’t doing something right. Anyway, this isn’t the thread for grumbling about PLESK :p

No, you’re right it isn’t the thread. I don’t really use it anyway, it just would have been nice if the backups could have worked for me is all.

Good tip about the skeleton setup though, i may use that for something else entirely!

Thanks for the advice.  Do you have any tips on setting up the same configuration on a CPanel system?

My experience is minimal with cPanel, but I don’t think cPanel makes use of open_basedir restrictions. At the very worst, you may need to disable safe_mode though.

Yes.  I setup a new VPS on Plesk about a year ago, but switched back to CPanel a few months later—since so many things stopped working.  I tried to get all the open_basedir issues straightened out, but I just gave up in the end.  CPanel definitely has its quirks as well—I especially hate the weird directory and usernames it creates.

To setup CI, I guess I could just manually create a directory within the filesystem and hardcode the system directory into CI default index.php file.  I’ve done this on my Windows development system and it works very well.  Maybe even linking the CI core system directory to SVN as well.
