Can you see it with your web browser?

Are you running a web server on this box?

What operating system and web server are you running?

Ah, okay - so it's all working, you just don't know what to do with all that power?

Have you read through the CI user manual? You should work your way through the General Topics - in order. It's pretty well explained in there, from memory.

yes jedd it is all working now,

i read the starting guides but i did not get much as i am really new with frameworks,

thanks for advise i will start with general topics and will do research,

now i want to make "rewrite url"

i made a .htaccess file and put this codes in it

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


it is working "http://localhost/test/index.php/hello
but
it is not working "http://localhost/test/hello"

where am i doing mistake?

thanks in advange

This is my .htaccess .. you might be able to just plug this one in (yours seems more complex than it should be)

Code:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|assets|robots\.txt)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ ./index.php/$1 [L]

Are you new to PHP and/or web development? If you are, then .. buy a book

If you are not, and it's just the framework, then .. well, I refer you back to the Model, Controller and View chapters of the user guide. I'd suggest you watch the couple of videos that are pointed from the CodeIgniter main page - they are very good tutorials. There's also been a few links to some new video tutorials posted in these forums recently - they should be findable pretty easy (subject is video tutorial or something from memory).

Did you put the .htaccess in the web root or in the test directory? It needs to be in the same directory as index.php

The .htaccess file isn't going to work because when you give a path to a RewriteRule it reads based on the DocumentRoot of your host, try putting the CI install in the root of your localhost directory, or changing the RewriteRule to reflect the fact that your intended target is not in the document root.
