CodeIgniter removing index.php from url

Question

I know this question has been asked a number of times. However, I still wasn't able to get rid of index.php url. It is preventing me to access my controller directly.

I am current using CodeIgniter 2.2.2.
And the following is my .htaccess file:

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

application/config:

//  Find the below code

$config['uri_protocol'] = "AUTO"

//  Replace it as

$config['uri_protocol'] = "REQUEST_URI"

Any Idea? Thanks in advance for your time.

I am using wamp right now, but currently I would like to be able to access in production as well. (Prod currently running linux apache) — CS Learning 101

RewriteRule ^(application|system|\.svn) index.php/$1 [L]

If your using wamp make sure you have apache mod rewrite enabled.

This htaccess is good for wamp or xampp

Options +FollowSymLinks
Options -Indexes
DirectoryIndex index.php
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|images|robots\.txt)
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L,QSA]

Make sure it is placed on the main directory.

$config['index_page'] = '';

From the CI User Manual:

Index.php file will be included as default in your URLs.

Example:

example.com/index.php/controller

How can you change?

You can use rewrite rule in .htaccess for removing index.php from the URLs

Example from User Guide:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|images|robots\.txt)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L]

Using the "negative" method in which everything is redirected except the specified items.

One last thing make you are using index_page as empty location application/config/config.php:

$config['index_page'] = '';

In last if you are still facing issue change uri_protocol AUTO to REQUEST_URI.

$config['uri_protocol'] = "REQUEST_URI";

This worked for me.

RewriteEngine on 
RewriteCond $1 !^(index.php|resources|robots.txt) 
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f 
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d 
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L,QSA]

Finally fixed my problem. I would like to share my answer to all of you. I am currently using a mac, my rename my .htaccess file into htaccess.txt And had the following code inside htaccess: RewriteEngine On

#Removes access to the system folder by users.
#Additionally this will allow you to create a System.php controller,
#previously this would not have been possible.
#'system' can be replaced if you have renamed your system folder.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^system.*
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?/$1 [L]

#When your application folder isn't in the system folder
#This snippet prevents user access to the application folder
#Submitted by: Fabdrol
#Rename 'application' to your applications folder name.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^application.*
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?/$1 [L]

#Checks to see if the user is attempting to access a valid file,
#such as an image or css document, if this isn't true it sends the
#request to index.php
#RewriteCond %{ENV:REDIRECT_STATUS} ^$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?/$1 [L]


</IfModule>

<IfModule !mod_rewrite.c>
    # If we don't have mod_rewrite installed, all 404's
    # can be sent to index.php, and everything works as normal.
    # Submitted by: ElliotHaughin

ErrorDocument 404 /index.php

Then make sure Apache is reading the htaccess.txt file by doing this:

Uncomment the following line on your httpd.conf
Go inside to the extra/httpd-default.conf file and change this line of code: AccessFileName .htaccess to AccessFileName htaccess.txt
Restart Apache server
Inside your config, make sure to leave 'base_url' empty (index page can still be there, doesn't matter). And $config['uri_protocol'] = 'REQUEST_URI';

Hope this can help others out there!
