Getting Codeigniter to work on localhost with xampp

I have Netbeans, Codeigniter, and xampp setup on a Windows 7 machine and I am simply trying to call up a simple object to display hello world.

I keep getting the Object not found error after exhausting many tutorials. When I run my script it uses the following url

http://localhost/project1/CodeIgniter_2.1.0/application/controllers/hello.php

So xampp is working fine when I call up localhost/xampp from my browser although im not sure what else needs to be configured.

I've tried many different base urls although currently my config.php has it set as follows $config['base_url'] = '';

I'm a newbie just trying to get things setup so I can start working on projects but can't get past this for days.

That's not how CodeIgniter URLs work. It should be:

http://path/to/codeigniter/index.php/<controller>/<function>/<param>

So, in your case, it should be:

http://localhost/project1/CodeIgniter_2.1.0/index.php/hello

$config['base_url'] should be set to the index.php, so it should be:

$config['base_url'] = 'http://localhost/project1/CodeIgniter_2.1.0/index.php';
