title: Working with configuration variables with codeigniter
body: <p>I was watching the following video on codeigniter tv website and wanted to work with my application in the various stages and wanted to set it up with the different configuration variables so it would be easier to manage.</p>

  <p>The problem is I believe with my install of the codeigniter files and the location of my dev sever.</p>
  
  <p>Here's my file structure. Anyone see a better way of doing this so I don't have to do multiple installs and what not for codeigniter from production and development.</p>
  
  <pre><code>/
  /dev
  /dev/site1
  /dev/site1/application
  /dev/site1/system
  /dev/site1/index.php
  
  /public_html
  /public_html/application
  /public_html/system
  /public_html/index.php
  </code></pre>
