Answer 1

This can be done by using URL Helper of CodeIgniter.

This helper library should br loaded using the following code:

$this->load->helper('url');

To redirect you just need to call function as follow. Put this code inside your login method.

redirect('http://localhost/CI/adminfolder');

Answer 2

assuming your base url is:

$config['base_url'] = "http://localhost/CI/";

it's simply to do:

redirect(site_url('adminfolder'),'',301/*here your redirect http code*/);

and be sure the folder is accessible via browser

I had same issue and fix it by updating my .htaccess file with the following code.

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]

I found it from https://codeigniter.com/user_guide/general/urls.html
