Codeigniter echoing [::1] instead of localhost
It's because of your base_url is empty.
In config/config.php
$config['base_url'] = 'http://localhost/project_name';Something more interesting about
http://\[::1\]/
You need to edit your $config['base_url'] as follows,
$config['base_url'] = '';$config['base_url'] = ((isset($_SERVER['HTTPS']) && $_SERVER['HTTPS'] == "on") ? "https" : "http");$config['base_url'] .= "://" . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'];$config['base_url'] .= str_replace(basename($_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME']), "", $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME']);File location: codeigniter/application/config/config.php
Use above code to get dynamic url.
More accurate and dynamic way
$root = "http://".$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'];$root .= dirname($_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME']);$config['base_url'] = $root;Though you can still use port.
