I have just downloaded and unpacked Codeigniter 2.1 and put its contents into a folder called CI in my htdocs MAMP folder. I then opened config.php and set $config['base_url'] to ‘http://localhost:8888/CI/’ as per the installation instructions.
I should now be able to navigate to localhost:8888/CI/ and hit a welcome page, correct?
All I’m getting is a 500 error.
“The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was
unable to complete your request.”
MAMP is running. So what could be my problem?
Do you have mod_rewrite enabled? If not you should try to enable it. And also make sure you don’t have some hidden (.htaccess) file/s in the folder you try to install/unpack the framework (files) in.
