How to set proper codeigniter base url?

Question

when I had my site on development environment - it was url: testurl.com

Now on production server my codeigniter app's address has to be someurl.com/mysite/

I moved it there, and everytime I'm trying to run some function, example /home/test - it gets me into someurl.com/home/test - which is WRONG.

It has to be someurl.com/mysite/home/test - How to fix it? I did set

$config['base_url'] = someurl.com/mysite/

Answer 1

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

Check

config > config

codeigniter file structure

replace

$config['base_url'] = "your Website url";

with

$config['base_url']  =  "http://".$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'];

$config['base_url'] .= preg_replace('@/+$@', '', dirname($_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'])).'/';

Well that's very interesting, Here is quick and working code:

index.php

/**
 * Define APP_URL Dynamically
 * Write this at the bottom of index.php
 *
 * Automatic base url
 */
define('APP_URL', ($_SERVER['SERVER_PORT'] == 443 ? 'https' : 'http') . "://{$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME']}".str_replace(basename($_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME']),"",$_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'])); 

config.php

/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Base Site URL
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| URL to your CodeIgniter root. Typically this will be your base URL,
| WITH a trailing slash:
|
|   http://example.com/
|
| If this is not set then CodeIgniter will guess the protocol, domain and
| path to your installation.
|
*/
$config['base_url'] = APP_URL;

CodeIgniter ROCKS!!! :)
