FuelPHP Forums

That happens because, as you can read in the documentation, the "public" path should be your root folder because you can't put the fuel folder in your root. If you can't access your up folder, you have 2 choises: 1) You can use mod_rewrite and try to delete public from path. It is praticable solution only if you know how to create a perfect .htaccess file. It's not my case, so I uses the solutions 2 2) I modev all the contents of the "public" folder on the root, so I have now this structure:
- application (the folder where Fuel is- should be Fuel in yours)
- assets
- index.php
. htaccess In your index.php file you have to modify the folders like these (I have "__DIR__.'/application/" you have to put there your fuel's main folder):

define('APPPATH', realpath(__DIR__.'/application/app/').DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR);
define('PKGPATH', realpath(__DIR__.'/application/packages/').DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR);
define('COREPATH', realpath(__DIR__.'/application/core/').DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR);

Now it's time to modify your .htaccess:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine on
    
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]
</IfModule>

That's all! Put your base_url to null and all should now works.
