Description
What I mean by “false-error” is that Im recieving the error when I shouldn’t be. Im running a Linux Local-Host with apache 2.2.4 and php 5.2.3.
I did a fresh-install of CodeIgniter 1.5.4, used my browser to go to the directory where I had the fresh install, and recieved the following error:
“The configuration file config.php does not exist.”
I double-checked to make sure the file was in the correct directory, and checked the path that get_config() was trying to load, and it was all correct.
I then installed a Local-host on my windows platform, did a fresh install, and CodeIgniter worked fine.

This doesn’t sound like a bug, as it’s affecting your server only. file_exists() can fail for a number of reasons. Improper permissions and/or file ownership are the likely causes. Check to make sure that your server is not operating PHP in “safe mode”, and that the file permissions are such that your script has read access to the file AND directories. |

I agree with Derek. I spent a good deal of time trying to solve this issue with you, psylence. Just because we didn’t get it work doesn’t mean this is a bug with CodeIgniter. I have over 30 web sites built using CI and never encountered this problem. My sites run on Linux and OS X. As Derek suggested, check the file permissions. Make sure Apache has read access to the directories and files. |
