CodeIgniter removing index.php from url

Question

My current urls look like this [mysite]index.php/[rest of the slug].
I want to strip index.php from these urls.

mod_rewrite

Answer 1

you can go to application\config\config.php file and remove index.php

 $config['index_page'] = 'index.php';   // delete index.php

Change to

 $config['index_page'] = '';

Answer 2

Note the difference with the added "?" character after ".php", especially when dealing with CodeIgniter:

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]

vs.

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

It depends on several other things.. if doesn't work, try the other option!

Answer 3

on your htaccess use this,

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /root_folder_name/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^system.*
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|images|js|uploads|css|robots\.txt)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]

Hope this helps.

1.Create a new file .htaccess on root directory.

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

2. Go to your config.php file and change from $config['index_page'] = 'index.php' to $config['index_page'] = ''

Answer 5

Solved it with 2 steps.

1. Update 2 parameters in the config file application/config/config.php

$config['index_page'] = '';
$config['uri_protocol'] = 'REQUEST_URI';

2. Update the file .htaccess in the root folder

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
      RewriteBase /
      RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
      RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
      RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?/$1 [L]
</IfModule>
