You can easily remove this file by using a .htaccess file with some simple rules. Here is an example of such a file, using the "negative" method in which everything is redirected except the specified items:

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

Hi R_Nelson,

Here is the complete code and you dont need to make changes as

$config[‘uri_protocol’] = “REQUEST_URI”;
Keep it AUTO instead rather make change index_page=’’ in config file,
Whats you need to sure that your mod_rewrite should be on change your httpd.conf file setting


RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?/$1 [L]

Thanks,
