- 16. Development Environment • XAMPP - http://www.apachefriends.org/en/ xampp.html • CodeIgniter Framework • OAuth Library • CodeIgniter OAuth Classes
- 17. Installing CodeIgniter svn checkout http://dev.ellislab.com/svn/CodeIgniter/trunk ~/ Sites/project_search
- 18. Configuring CodeIgniter • Check it works http://localhost/ project_search/ • Can we have pretty URLs? Please? • change system/applications/config/config.php • $config['index_page'] = quot;quot;; • Add .htaccess file
