codeigniter: Remove index.php not working

Question

I am trying to remove index.php from url. But its not working!

Using ubuntu 12.04 ( LAMP).

CodeIgniter_2.1.2

.htaccess file

Answer 1

Htaccess:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule .* index.php/$0 [PT,L]

And in your applications/config/config.php

$config['base_url'] = 'http://www.yourwebsite.com'; //url to your project
$config['index_page'] = ''; //Needs to be empty
