Quick Fix: Within your terminal command window, navigate to the root directory of your CodeIgniter project and attempt to run the command again. Ensure you’re in the correct directory before executing the command.
The Problem:
I’m trying to open a Codeigniter welcome page using the command php spark serve
, but I’m encountering an error: Could not open input file: spark
. I’ve tried installing spark using composer, but it’s not working. I’m using PHP v8.1 and Codeigniter v4.2.10. Can you help me resolve this issue?
The Solutions:
Solution 1: Check the directory path
In the given command php spark serve
, you need to be in the root directory of your Codeigniter project to run it. Make sure you are in the correct directory before running the command.
If you’re using Composer to manage your Codeigniter project, you can use the following commands to navigate to the project root directory and run the php spark serve
command:
cd project-root
php spark serve
where project-root
is the directory where your Codeigniter project is located.
