How to remove “index.php” in codeigniter's path

Question

How do I remove the \"index.php\" sticking out in every path in codeigniter somewhere in the center? I want clean non index.php-fied URLs?

Answer 1

As an .htaccess file, a good option is to use the one provided by the Kohana Framework:

# Turn on URL rewriting
RewriteEngine On

# Installation directory
RewriteBase /

# Protect hidden files from being viewed

    Order Deny,Allow
    Deny From All


# Protect application and system files from being viewed
RewriteRule ^(?:application|system)\b.* index.php/$0 [L]

# Allow any files or directories that exist to be displayed directly
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

# Rewrite all other URLs to index.php/URL
RewriteRule .* index.php/$0 [PT]

It's a well thought out .htaccess that just works.
