CodeIgniter Installer

======================

General Information

--------------------

CI Installer is a starting point for giving your downloadable CodeIgniter

application an installer.

If you're making a CI app that is designed to be downloaded and self-hosted,

CI Installer provides an easy way for the user to get the database structure and 

configuration in place.

NOTE: This is to be used as a starting point. You will have to customize it to 

make it work for your application, and you might have to dig into the code

a little bit. It's pretty simple, so if you have a basic understanding of PHP

you shouldn't have trouble.

General Instructions

---------------------

1. Download CI Installer, rename the folder to 'install' and put it in the root

directory of your CI install (as a sibling to the /system folder).

2. Make an SQL dump of your desired database structure and intial data and paste 

it into assets/install.sql

3. Open up index.php and change "Your App" in the  to your app's name.

4. If your CI application folder is a sibling of your system folder instead of a 

child (this is common), do a find/replace to replace 'system/application' with 

'application' in each of this project's files.

5. If you have .htaccess file in CodeIgniter root folder, change the line:

	RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|img|css|js|robots\.txt|favicon\.ico|update\.php|install\.php)

to:

	RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|img|css|js|install|robots\.txt|favicon\.ico|update\.php)

	

- In index.php, around line 37 change 'welcome' to the URL of the page

(in CodeIgniter) that you want the user to be redirected to after installing.

- Visit http://example.com/path/to/yourapp/install and see how it goes.
