Codeigniter on Ubuntu no welcome message <p>I am trying to run CodeIgniter (2.14) on Ubuntu 13.10. I have put the files in "var/www/CodeIgniter" but when I enter the directory from the browser it does not show any welcome message as it did previously when working with CodeIgniter on Microsoft Windows 7. I have verified that PHP works on the environment with the function <code>phpinfo()</code> - PHP Version 5.5.3-1ubuntu2. The rights for the folder are 755 if that is of any importance. </p> <p>I have tried to set the base URL to </p> <pre><code> http://localhost/"myproject". </code></pre> <p>I have tried to re-download and "reinstall" CodeIgniter.</p> <p>Guys I really could use your help I don't feel like running an windows environment in virtual box just for this and I definitely wouldn't like to install windows 8.1 just for this. All help is appreciated and considered constructive.<img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/LBoIn.png" alt="enter image description here"></p>
