Multiple Applications

CodeIgniter is distributed with one application in mind, but is ready to accommodate multiple applications on a given site. However, because the /application/ folder is inside of the /system/ folder, this leads some to think you need to have multiple installations of the system files.

• having one front controller (index.php) per application, or some other crafty way of mimicking this. [/quote]

Let's start by reviewing CodeIgniter's default file layout (as of v1.5.3).
