Codeigniter php frameworks: installation codeigniter part 2

Codeigniter php frameworks will show you next part of installation codeigniter. In the previous post of codeigniter php frameworks we show you how to install codeigniter from downloading the package until setting up the base url configuration. Now let’s learn about using the encryption key and another about installation the codeigniter.

If you wish to increase security by hiding the location of your CodeIgniter files you can rename the system and application folders to something more private. Codeigniter php frameworks will show you how to use it. You must open your main index.php file and set the $system_folder and $application_folder variables at the top of the file with the new name you've chosen. For the best security, both the system and any application folders should be placed above web root so that they are not directly accessible via a browser. By default, .htaccess files are included in each folder to help prevent direct access, but it is best to remove them from public access entirely in case the web server configuration changes or doesn't abide by the .htaccess.

After moving them, open your main index.php file and set the $system_folder and $application_folder variables, preferably with a full path, e.g. /www/MyUser/system. One additional measure to take in production environments is to disable PHP error reporting and any other development-only functionality. In codeIgniter, this can be done by setting the ENVIRONMENT constant, which is more fully described on the security page of codeigniter user manual. I think that’s all, see you at another post of Codeigniter php frameworks.
