title: How do I set up Code Igniter if my public html folder is a soft link?
body: <p>I am setting up Code Igniter. My public html folder is a soft link to another folder on my server.</p>
  
  <p>Hence, my directory structure looks like</p>
  
  <pre><code>README       errors.txt  license.txt     system
  application  html   user_guide
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>where html is a soft link to another folder <code>/var/www/myPublicHTML/</code>. html contains my index.php file.</p>
  
  <p>Code Igniter currently issues this error.</p>
  
  <pre><code>Your system folder path does not appear to be set correctly. Please open the following file and correct this: index.php
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>However, I did specify this in my index.php file within the html soft link / folder.</p>
  
  <pre><code>$system_path = '../system';
  $application_folder = '../application';
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Why is this error still surfacing? I feel that it may be a soft link issue. Thank you.</p>
