# Codeigniter Chat

This is a basic shoutboard built using codeigniter. Originally only used XML for the backend,
but was rewritten to illustrate different types of web services. It has been updated to use
CodeIgniter 3.1.0.

## Installation

1. git clone [email protected]:llbbl/codeigniter-chat.git
2. Rename application/config/database-default.php to database.php
3. Modify database.php to include your MySQL connection details
4. Run the create.sql (does not include schema create)

## Configuration

* Setup the Webserver DocumentRoot to point to public folder inside the codeigniter chat folder
* Assuming you have setup the project under the domain example.local, Open a browser and goto example.local/chat (See Below for Webserver configuration)

## Web Server Configuration

If you are using nginx, configure the example below and put in sites available/enabled folders.

If you are using Apache there is already a .htaccess file in the public folder ready to start working. Make sure you have mod_rewrite enabled.

nginx

```
server{
server_name default.local;
root /Web/default;

listen 80;
index index.php index.html index.htm;

access_log /Web/logs/default.access.log;
error_log /Web/logs/default.error.log;

location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$query_string;
}

location ~ \.php$ {
try_files $uri =404;

fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;
fastcgi_read_timeout 150;
fastcgi_index index.php;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
include fastcgi_params;
}

}
```
