Create .htaccess file in your root directory And keep this code into it

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

Open application/config/config.php

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

/find the below code
$config['uri_protocol'] = "AUTO"
//replace with the below code
$config['uri_protocol'] = "REQUEST_URI"

You can use:

RewriteEngine On

# 403 Forbidden for index.php
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} index\.php [NC]
RewriteRule ^ - [F]

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

Answer 3

In Config.php

$config['base_url'] = 'http://localhost/website/';
$config['index_page'] = '';

# If Live site
# $config['base_url'] = 'http://stackoverflow.com/';

In .htaccess

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