I am new to CI and using the version 2.1.2, I am trying it in my local server, I want to remove the index.php from my url, currently it is coming like http://localhost/ci/index.php/welcome.

If you are running Windows it will show index.php the first time after that it will be removed.

Yes I am working on XAMPP in Windows. but the index.php is not removed at all.

Code:

http://localhost/ci/index.php/welcome

working fine, but when I type

Code:

http://localhost/ci/welcome

It is showing the error404 Object Not Found.

I have set config.php like

Code:

$config['base_url'] = 'http://localhost/ci/';
$config['index_page'] = ' ';
$config['uri_protocol'] = 'REQUEST_URI';

autoload.php like

Code:

$autoload['libraries'] = array('database');
$autoload['helper'] = array('url','form');

and routes.php like

Code:

$route['default_controller'] = "welcome";
$route['404_override'] = '';

My .htaccess file is like

Code:

RewriteBase /ci/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [NC,L,QSA]

please help me to remove index.php from url, I am using CI version 2.1.2

It works for me, what I did is Ichange the location of the .htaccess file, earlier my file structure was

Code:

/ci
  /application
   /.htaccess
  /system
  /index.php

after that I changed my file structure to

Code:

/ci
  /application
  /system
  /index.php
  /.htaccess

I put the .htaccess file at the same place where index.php is present

and my .htaccess file is like

Code:

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

Now it solves my problem. Thanx for your help.

You need to add this:

Code:

RewriteBase On

RewriteBase /ci/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [NC,L,QSA]
