Removing index.php from codeigniter

Remove index.php from Codeigniter

Method 1 for working in local system

step 1 : Open your text editor  commonly notepad++ or sublime 

step 2 : paste any one of the below code in that file.

Code 1 >>

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>

        RewriteEngine On

        RewriteBase /

        # Removes index.php from ExpressionEngine URLs

        RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^GET.*index\.php [NC]

        RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/system/.* [NC]

        RewriteRule (.*?)index\.php/*(.*) /$1$2 [R=301,NE,L]

        # Directs all EE web requests through the site index file

        RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

        RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

        RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L]

</IfModule>

Code 2 >>

RewriteEngine on

RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|resources|robots\.txt)

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L,QSA] 

step 3 : save it inside codeigniter root folder or www directory.

Note :

Remove the value of index_page in config.php file inside config folder.

$config['index_page'] = '';

In somecase the default setting for uri protocol does not work properly.

So just comment the original code and make it as like below code in config.php inside config folder.

//$config['uri_protocol'] = 'REQUEST_URI';

$config['uri_protocol'] = 'AUTO';

Method 2 for making changes in online directly

Step 1 : create .htaccess file using your FTP client iin the root folder of the project that is index.php file location.

step 2 : Paste any one code from above into that and make other changes.
