How to access my codeigniter folder in ubuntu?

Question

I have deployed my codeigniter folder into /var/www/html . But when i am trying to access it using http://localhost/CodeIgniter/ this is showing Server error

500

The website encountered an error while retrieving http://localhost/CodeIgniter/. It may be down for maintenance or configured incorrectly. But when i am creting a new folder into /var/www/html/ and creating a hello.php file in it and that is working fine.

1) You have to verify folder/files permission like previous answer with command sudo chmod -R 755 /var/www/html/Codeigniter and for file 644 as permissions -R is for recursively.

2) Look for your .htaccess file and if you have enabled mod_rewrite on apache, if no enabled open terminal and sudo a2enmod rewrite.

3) Look for owner permission in /var/www/html/Codeigniter if you are locally set it to your own user, else set it to www-data

Hope it will help

You might have to give special permissions to Codeigniter folder.

$ sudo chmod 755 -R /var/www/html/Codeigniter

Also, keep a backup of the .htaccess file then remove it from the Codeigniter folder.
