RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCo         


        

Answer 1

have you tried this:

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

Answer 2

I've no idea how you get this .htaccess. If you download CodeIgniter 4 from here and you can see Htaccess file is different what you added.

Since there are many changes in CodeIgniter (1,2,3) to Codeigniter 4, htaccess moved to public/ folder which will set to document root and .htaccess which place outside will not valid in CI 4

Correct path to .htaccess

public/.htaccess

Note: I just tested index.php URL issue and there was no issue like that. worked/loaded fine without index.php

Answer 3

create a .htaccess file in /public with :

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