redirect() ignores my .htaccess and uses domain_name/index.php/<redirected_url>

[quote author="Pascal Kriete" date="1223881764"]Go into application/config/config.php and blank out the index page config value:

Code:

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

// New
$config['index_page'] = "";

CI uses that to create urls when you're using site_url, redirect, anchor, form_open and other functions that generate urls.
