First Step Towards Codeigniter.. :)

I think CodeIgniter installation is straightforward, just follow the instructions from the CodeIgniter user guide
The instructions say

CodeIgniter is installed in four steps:

  1. Unzip the package.
  2. Upload the CodeIgniter folders and files to your server. Normally the index.php file will be at your root.
  3. Open the application/config/config.php file with a text editor and set your base URL.
  4. If you intend to use a database, open the application/config/database.php file with a text editor and set your database settings.

but then again i just wanna share my installation. CodeIgniter, here we come...

For the servers i use XAMPP (say my thanks for those guy behind XAMPP for bundling what i need),
