CodeIgniter removing index.php not working

Question

I\'m using Ubuntu 13 with the following setup for a local codeigniter site.

Apache/2.4.6 (Ubuntu)
5.5.3-1ubuntu2.2 
\'CI_VERSION\', \'2.1.2\'

Answer 1

I would try something like:

RewriteRule ^(?!index)(.*)$ index.php?/myvariable=$1 [L]

If you know what GET variable the script is expecting for controllername in localhost/controllername, then in the rule replace myvariable with that variable name.
