You have to have system folder in your structure. I think you rename it or not upload it. – Endicott

Answer 1

check your index.php file like the error said and look for $system_path and $application_folder. Those folders must exist in the root of your application, if you delete them(which you shouldn't do) or renamed them, it will cause that error

$system_path = 'system';
$application_folder = 'application';

Answer 5

Your project don't have a system folder, if you are using composer try to run composer install on your project root folder. In my case its the problem.

Answer 6

I had the same problem but for me, it was the first time installing code ignitor using composer. When I copied the files from vendor/codeignitor/ to my web root then everything worked fine.

1. check your index.php file like the error said and look for $system_path and $application_folder. Those folders must exist in the root of your application, if you delete them(which you shouldn't do) or renamed them, it will cause that error

   $system_path = 'system'; $application_folder = 'application';

2. Change the php version to 5.6 (if its 7.2+ changing it to 5.6 , worked for me)

Answer 9

This is because your system path is missing

1. Go to index.php file
2. Check the $system_path ='path' variable
3. Check the $application_folder ='path' variable
4. Probably the folder path missing or Renamed which you shouldnt do
5. If your using composer composer install will create the system folder path
6. If not the case you have to re-install Codeignitor

Remember : Never ever modify or rename system files
