CodeIgniter and Vesta Topic is solved

[PlayBoxTech]

Hi all,
Using CodeIgniter 4, they recommend that the web server is configured to automatically go to folder/public/ as the default. ie: /home/chris/web/ci.audiodrama.stream/public_html/public

Is this possible with Vesta? If so how?

Thanks!
Chris

Briefly
- Create a new template with the new web root directory. (copy an existing one and rename it).
- Put it into /usr/local/vesta/data/templates/web/apache and/or /usr/local/vesta/data/templates/web/nginx
depending on which web server setup you're using.
- Select it from the vesta web interface for that web domain.

So I copied the directory apache2 to codeigniter and modified both basedir.tpl and basedir.stpl refreshed the page in Vesta and it doesn't show the new template. Is there something I have to do, to get Vesta to see the new template?

To possibly clarify I don't want to modify every url to go to public_html/public just this one.

OK, so back to basics. What is your webserver setup? Are you using apache, nginx or apache with nginx proxy in front? I can't give specific instructions until I know that information.

For this site its apache only.

OK, so here's what I'd do. Go to the template dir for apache, and make copies of the default templates.

Code: Select all

cd /usr/local/vesta/data/templates/web/apache2/
cp default.stpl codeigniter.stpl
cp default.tpl codeigniter.tpl

Now edit those templates so that the path is updated to the one codeigniter uses. You can use nano or another editor of your choice.
In both codeigniter templates find the line that says

Code: Select all

 DocumentRoot %docroot%

and change it to

Code: Select all

 DocumentRoot %docroot%/public/

Save the files. Go to the vesta web interface, domains, and select your new codeigniter template for the domains you need.

You may need to make other codeigniter changes in those templates, eg open basedir settings, php settings. If you make further changes, you'll need to force vesta to regenerate the configs in /home/user/conf/web/, so you'd either select the default template, save, then re-select codeigniter template, save. Or you could use v-update-web-templates
