Web hosts and FuelPhP
  • Hello, I'm thinking about using a web hosting service to host a website I'm going to build and use FuelPHP. Would FuelPHP conflict with a web host for any reason because of the directory? Would the link still be clean? I'm asking because I know the framework is supposed to be located outside of the home directory correct? Don't web hosts only allow the home directory?
  • The only issue you would have with a normal webhost is not having php-5.3.  All my hosts have always allowed outside public_html access.

    The public folder does not have to be named public, its contents can be moved inside public_html, htdocs or whatever your host uses as the public document root and then the fuel folder can be one level before that.

    Also, I do have a project where the fuel folder is on the same directory as the public files, I limit access to it completely via .htaccess and modified the paths in index.php — it works fine.
