CodeIgniter

To run apps built with the CodeIgniter web framework using Unit:

1. Install Unit with a PHP language module.

2. Download CodeIgniter’s core files and build your application. Here, let’s use a basic app template, installing it at /path/to/app/.

3. Change ownership:

   Run the following command (as root) so Unit can access the application directory (If the application uses several directories, run the command for each one):

   Copy

   # chown -R unit:unit /path/to/app/ # User and group that Unit's router runs as by default 

   The unit:unit user-group pair is available only with official packages , Docker images, and some third-party repos. Otherwise, account names may differ; run the ps aux | grep unitd command to be sure.

   For further details, including permissions, see the security checklist.

4. Next, prepare the CodeIgniter configuration for Unit:

   Copy

   {  "listeners": {  "*:80": {  "pass": "routes"  }  },   "routes": [  {  "match": {  "uri": "!/index.php"  },  "_comment_match": "Denies access to index.php as a static file",   "action": {  "share": "/path/to/app/public$uri",  "_comment_share": "Path to the application directory; use a real path in your configuration",  "fallback": {  "pass": "applications/codeigniter"  },  "_comment_fallback": "Serves any requests not served with the 'share' immediately above"  }  }  ],   "applications": {  "codeigniter": {  "type": "php",  "root": "/path/to/app/public/",  "_comment_root": "Path to the application directory; use a real path in your configuration",  "script": "index.php"  },  "_comment_script": "All requests are served by a single script"  } }

5. Upload the updated configuration.

   Assuming the JSON above was added to config.json. Run the following command as root:

   Copy

   # curl -X PUT --data-binary @config.json --unix-socket \  /path/to/control.unit.sock \ # Path to Unit's control socket in your installation  http://localhost/config/ # Path to the config section in Unit's control API 

   The control socket path may vary; run unitd -h or see Startup and shutdown for details.

   After a successful update, your app should be available on the listener’s IP address and port:
