Set Up the Base Url in Codeigniter

How to set proper codeigniter base url?

Base URL should be absolute, including the protocol:

$config['base_url'] = "http://somesite.com/somedir/";

If using the URL helper, then base_url() will output the above string.

Passing arguments to base_url() or site_url() will result in the following (assuming $config['index_page'] = "index.php";:

echo base_url('assets/stylesheet.css'); // http://somesite.com/somedir/assets/stylesheet.css
echo site_url('mycontroller/mymethod'); // http://somesite.com/somedir/index.php/mycontroller/mymethod

How to set config_base url in config.php file in codeigniter?

You should got to this file path

Codeigniter/applications/config/config.php

Search for this line that contains

$config['base_url'] = ""

Then your base_url should be

$config['base_url'] = "http://yoursite.com/"

If xampp, it should be

$config['base_url'] = "http://localhost/yoursite/"

And if wamp, it should be

$config['base_url'] = "http://www/yoursite/"

Note that yoursite is the filename of the site folder you have in htdocs or www folder

When you make use of <?php echo base_url(directory/file_name); ?> In your views, it should output something like:

 "http://localhost/yoursite.com/directory/file_name"

That should do the trick

Setting BaseURL for Codeigniter

Ok, well for anyone wondering the final solution to this was that the directories were not properly named. When creating a local server it is important to put the contents of the files in the correct folder.

So if you have http://localhost/codeigniter then the directory should be setup as \path\to\webdirectory\root\codeigniter or in this case: E:\WEBD\xampp\htdocs\codeigniter

base url for code igniter site not working

You are not using the base_url in your HTML code, you are currently "manually" loading the assets:

<link href="/assets/css/global.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="all" />

The / at the start tells the browser to load the assets from the root folder.

You can use the base_url() function to generate links, this function is available if you load the URL helper, you can use it like this:

base_url('assets/css/global.css');

This will return:

http://xxx.xxx.xx.xxx/blah.com/assets/css/global.css

So use it like this:

<link href="<?=base_url('assets/css/global.css');?>" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="all" />

<?= is the same as <?php echo

You can load the URL helper with this code:

$this->load->helper('url');
