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

I have tried many solutions but the one i came up with is this:

DirectoryIndex index.php
RewriteEngine on

RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|(.*)\.swf|forums|images|css|downloads|jquery|js|robots  \.txt|favicon\.ico)
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ ./index.php?$1 [L,QSA]

This iwill remove the index.php from the url as required.

Have the.htaccess file in the application root directory, along with the index.php file. (Check if the htaccess extension is correct , Bz htaccess.txt did not work for me.)

And Add the following rules to .htaccess file,

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

Then find the following line in your application/config/config.php file

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

Set the variable empty as below.

$config['index_page'] = '';

That's it, it worked for me.

If it doesn't work further try to replace following variable with these parameters ('AUTO', 'PATH_INFO', 'QUERY_STRING', 'REQUEST_URI', and 'ORIG_PATH_INFO') one by one

$config['uri_protocol'] = 'AUTO';

This is an .htaccess for one of my CI projects:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|images|css|js|robots\.txt)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /projectFolder/index.php/$1 [L] 

The last line should give you what you need, though you may or may not need '/projectFolder' depending on how your folder structure is set up. Good luck!

Look in the \application\config\config.php file, there is a variable named index_page

It should look like this

$config['index_page'] = "index.php";

change it to

$config['index_page'] = "";

Then as mentioned you also need to add a rewrite rule to the .htaccess file like this:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\\.php|resources|robots\\.txt)
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L,QSA]

It work for me, hope you too.

Answer 5

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