problem with removing index.php

Yesterday I've encounter some problems in Windows Vista & WAMP regarding htaccess.

The first one is as simple as creating a file called .htaccess if you try to create in explorer windows will complain that name is not valid for a file, the workarround:

Open Notepad writte down the line as described in user manual and save as.. .htaccess (don't forget to change file type to ALL) in the site root directory.

The second problem that I have was the module mod_rewrite not being on for default in Apache, is always good to check errors.log from apache when something fails or isn't working as it should.


After correcting this two problems mod_rewrite as been working flawless.

Oh! and other thing in $config['base_url'] don't forget to add the folder for your website, something like $config['base_url'] = "http://localhost/CI";
