CodeIgniter URL formatting

Question

At this moment, I am accessing my project pages like this and this formatting is working fine:

http://localhost/Seven/index.php/admin_login/login  (FOR LOGIN PAGE)

http://localhost/Seven/index.php/secure/admin_news  (FOR ADMIN NEWS SECTION)

config.php

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

$config['index_page'] = 'index.php';

At this moment, I'm not using any .htaccess file as I couldn't access contents of my CSS.

My question

How can I remove the "index.php" bit from my URLs, so that I could access my project pages like the following?
```
http://localhost/Seven/admin_login/login  (FOR LOGIN PAGE)

http://localhost/Seven/secure/admin_news  (FOR ADMIN NEWS SECTION)
```
and all other pages ????
I have two user folders in my project root directory ("Seven") for images and CSS, that is, "images" and "css". I am using my CSS and images like this:
```
http://localhost/Seven/images/test-logo.jpg
```
AND
```
../Seven/css/default.css
```

When I try to get rid of absolute paths, I fail to access my images and CSS contents on my web pages. How can I deal with this problem?

Open config/config.php, line 31:

Change

$config['index_page'] = 'index.php';

to

$config['index_page'] = '';

Then use this .htaccess (put it to the main root /Seven):

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

Just a note to make your life easier: do not supply base_url in the configuration unless you really need it.

I've never supplied it in any of my projects which makes it less painfull when uploading to multiple places (CodeIgniter can figure it out).
