CodeIgniter removing index.php from url

Question

Try the following

Open config.php and do following replaces

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

to

$config['index_page'] = ""

In some cases the default setting for uri_protocol does not work properly. Just replace

$config['uri_protocol'] ="AUTO"

by

$config['uri_protocol'] = "REQUEST_URI"

.htaccess

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

Note: .htaccess code vary depending on hosting server. In some hosting server (e.g.: Godaddy) need to use an extra ? in the last line of above code. The following line will be replaced with last line in applicable case:

// Replace last .htaccess line with this line
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?/$1 [L,QSA] 

Step:-1 Open the folder “application/config” and open the file “config.php“. find and replace the below code in config.php file.

//find the below code   
$config['index_page'] = "index.php" 
//replace with the below code
$config['index_page'] = ""

Step:-2 Go to your CodeIgniter folder and create .htaccess

Path:
Your_website_folder/
application/
assets/
system/
.htaccess <——— this file
index.php

Step:-3 Write below code in .htaccess file

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

Step:-4 In some case the default setting for uri_protocol does not work properly. To solve this problem just open the file “application/config/config.php“, then find and replace the below code

//Not needed for CodeIgniter 3 its already there.
//find the below code
$config['uri_protocol'] = "AUTO"
//replace with the below code
$config['uri_protocol'] = "REQUEST_URI" 

Thats all but in wamp server it does not work because rewrite_module by default disabled so we have need to enable it. for this do the following

1. Left click WAMP icon
2. Apache
3. Apache Modules
4. Left click rewrite_module

Step 1 :

Add this in htaccess file

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
  RewriteEngine On
  #RewriteBase /

  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
  RewriteRule ^ index.php [QSA,L]
</IfModule>

Step 2 :

Remove index.php in codeigniter config

$config['base_url'] = ''; 
$config['index_page'] = '';

Step 3 :

Allow overriding htaccess in Apache Configuration (Command)

sudo nano /etc/apache2/apache2.conf

and edit the file & change to

AllowOverride All

for www folder

Step 4 :

Enabled apache mod rewrite (Command)

sudo a2enmod rewrite

Step 5 :

Restart Apache (Command)

sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

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

use

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule .* index.php/$1 [PT,L]

if you have url in this order site.com/index.php/class/method/id

NB:remove index.php in config.php should be config[index_page] = ""

NB: notice the difference at the last line instead of $0 use $1
