My current urls look like this [mysite]index.php/[rest of the slug]
.
I want to strip index.php
from these urls.
mod_rewrite
I think your all setting is good but you doing to misplace your htaccess file go and add your htaccess to your project file
project_folder->htaccess
and add this code to your htaccess
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|resources|robots\.txt)
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L,QSA]
