codeigniter folder structure on webserver

I want to upload code igniter folder to remote server. Should I upload codeigniter root folder to my public_html folder so I got following structure

public_html/
            codeigniter/
                       application/
                       system/
                       ....

or should I upload application system ... directly to my public_html, and if I upload under codeigniter folder can I point somewhere in config to my codeigniter library in a way that my links remains without /codeigniter/

Form the user guide

For the best security, both the system and any application folders should be placed above web root so that they are not directly accessible via a browser.

So my setup is to have a custom public directory in the codeigniter codebase and have the index.php inside it.

And copy the .htaccess and index.html from either system or application folder to the codebase to forbid access to the base.

It will depend on the apache configuration on your server.

From my POV, it is better to have a structure like :

public_html/
codeigniter/
    application/
    system/
    [...]/

Then, make your apache configuration point to this folder with something like :

<VirtualHost *:80>
    DocumentRoot "path_to_the_folder/codeigniter"
    ServerName yourDomain.loc
    ServerAlias www.yourDomain.loc
    <Directory path_to_the_folder/codeigniter/ >
        #Your options
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

and your /etc/hosts file look like :

127.0.0.1    yourDomain.loc
127.0.0.1    www.yourDomain.loc

You would typically upload everything under /codeigniter. So you would have a directory structure like:

- public_html
  - images
  - js
  - system
    - application
    - other codeigniter folders

it's better to do like:

application/
system/
public_html/
    index.php

for security reason, put your application and system folder outside your public_html
