I want to strip index.php from these urls.

mod_rewrite

Answer 1

This works for me. Tested in codeigniter 3.1.11, PHP 5.6.40 I use a virtualhost in my apache2 config in testing server.

     ServerAdmin webmaster@dummy-host2.example.com
     DocumentRoot (__DIR__)
     ServerName mydomain
     ##ErrorLog "logs/dummy-host2.example.com-error.log"
     ##CustomLog "logs/dummy-host2.example.com-access.log" common
     
        Require all granted
        AllowOverride All
   

And /.htaccess content

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