Hello friends..

I have currently developed a website completely in Codeigniter. The problem is whenever any webpage other than the homepage is displayed the URL of the webpage contains the index.php

e.g; htp://abc.com/ //Homepage
http://abc.com/index.php/gpr
http://abc.com/index.php/alex/page_view

Can anybody suggest how to remove index.php from URL.

I have not made any changes to the config file yet..

Section: Removing the index.php file

You'll need the "AllowOverride" in apache from your host.


If you have complications, reply and will see if we can help.

Thanx for ur help..!!

Actually I am not allowed to create a .htacess file on my web server. So that this option cant be implemented.

Is there any another way for doing so??..

I'm fairly confident that the answer is no, however, someone here may have an alternative approach to accomplish something similar to what you're looking for.

Why are you not allowed .htaccess file? If you don't have that then I don't think there is another way.

Can this "AllowOverride" for apache be explained briefly so I can contact my host to do it? What exactly am i asking for?

Thanks

hmm.., you might consider removing the .php extension.. lols

in your cofig file change the base_url to http://www.yourdomain.com/index/

so whenever you use base_url in the redirect function do not include the "index" anymore

example:

Code:

redirect(base_url()."homepage");
//gives you http://www.yourdomain.com/index/homepage

i opt to use this since i hate .htaccess

I considered that but was having such a time removing it I didnt do it. Good point though.

I copied an .htaccess script Ben has put on here and added allowOveride All. That took the site offline so I removed it and everything worked.

Scary

Thanks, I appreciate your help
