How do I delete an index in CI?
What is .htaccess file in CodeIgniter?
Where is .htaccess file located in CodeIgniter?
How do I delete a public in ci4?

Open config.php and do following replaces

$config['index_page'] = "index.php"

to

$config['index_page'] = ""

In some cases the default setting for uri_protocol does not work properly. Just replace

$config['uri_protocol'] ="AUTO"

by

$config['uri_protocol'] = "REQUEST_URI"

.htaccess

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

Note: .htaccess code vary depending on hosting server. In some hosting server (e.g.: Godaddy) need to use an extra ? in the last line of above code. The following line will be replaced with last line in applicable case:

// Replace last .htaccess line with this line
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?/$1 [L,QSA]

Step:-1 Open the folder “application/config” and open the file “config.php“. find and replace the below code in config.php file.

//find the below code   
$config['index_page'] = "index.php" 
//replace with the below code
$config['index_page'] = ""

Step:-2 Go to your CodeIgniter folder and create .htaccess

Path:
Your_website_folder/
application/
assets/
system/
.htaccess <——— this file
index.php

Step:-3 Write below code in .htaccess file

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

Step:-4 In some case the default setting for uri_protocol does not work properly. To solve this problem just open the file “application/config/config.php“, then find and replace the below code

//Not needed for CodeIgniter 3 its already there.
//find the below code
$config['uri_protocol'] = "AUTO"
//replace with the below code
$config['uri_protocol'] = "REQUEST_URI"

Thats all but in wamp server it does not work because rewrite_module by default disabled so we have need to enable it. for this do the following

Left click WAMP icon
Apache
Apache Modules
Left click rewrite_module

</IfModule>

Step 2 :

Remove index.php in codeigniter config

$config['base_url'] = ''; 
$config['index_page'] = '';

Step 3 :

Allow overriding htaccess in Apache Configuration (Command)

sudo nano /etc/apache2/apache2.conf

and edit the file & change to

AllowOverride All

for www folder

Step 4 :

Enabled apache mod rewrite (Command)

sudo a2enmod rewrite

Step 1 => Place your .htaccess file in root folder where application and system folders exist.
Step 2 => If your web path using sub-folder like - yourdomain.com/project/ - then use following code in htaccess file

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

If your web path using root-folder like - yourdomain.com - then use following code in htaccess file

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

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

use

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule .* index.php/$1 [PT,L]

if you have url in this order site.com/index.php/class/method/id

NB:remove index.php in config.php should be config[index_page] = ""
NB: notice the difference at the last line instead of $0 use $1

on your htaccess use this,

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /root_folder_name/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^system.*
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|images|js|uploads|css|robots\.txt)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]

Hope this helps.

Solved it with 2 steps.

Update 2 parameters in the config file application/config/config.php

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

Update the file .htaccess in the root folder

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

1.Create a new file .htaccess on root directory.

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L] 
</IfModule>`

2. Go to your config.php file and change from $config['index_page'] = 'index.php' to $config['index_page'] = ''

put the code in your root htaccess file.and make sure that you have

$config['index_page'] = '';

Well these all answers are good but for a newbie(which is do first time) these are confusing. There are other htaccess files which is reside in controller but we have to edit or add the htaccess in main project folder.

This is your codeigniter folder, where file resides like application,system,assets,uploads etc.

Your_project_folder/
application/
assets/
cgi-bin/
system/
.htaccess---->(Edit this file if not exist than create it)
index.php

Change this file as written below:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
  RewriteEngine On
  # !IMPORTANT! Set your RewriteBase here and don't forget trailing and leading
  #  slashes.
  # If your page resides at http://www.example.com/mypage/test1
  # then use RewriteBase /mypage/test1/
  # Otherwise /
  RewriteBase /
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
  RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?/$1 [L]
</IfModule>

<IfModule !mod_rewrite.c>
  # If we don't have mod_rewrite installed, all 404's
  # can be sent to index.php, and everything works as normal.
  # Submitted by: Anand Pandey
  ErrorDocument 404 /index.php
</IfModule>

and yes of course you need to change two lines of code in the application/config/config.php

//find the below code   
$config['index_page'] = "index.php";
$config['uri_protocol'] ="AUTO" 
//replace with the below code
$config['index_page'] = "";
$config['uri_protocol'] = "REQUEST_URI";

you can go to config\config.php file and remove index.php value from this variable

$config['index_page'] = 'index.php'; // delete index.php

create .htaccess file and paste this code in it.

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>

 Options +FollowSymLinks

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

</IfModule>

This works for me. Tested in codeigniter 3.1.11, PHP 5.6.40 I use a virtualhost in my apache2 config in testing server.

<VirtualHost *:80>
     ServerAdmin 
     DocumentRoot (__DIR__)
     ServerName mydomain
     ##ErrorLog "logs/dummy-host2.example.com-error.log"
     ##CustomLog "logs/dummy-host2.example.com-access.log" common
     <Directory "(__DIR__)">
        Require all granted
        AllowOverride All
   </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

And /.htaccess content

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

You can remove index.php from url by placing some code in .htaccess

File path: root > .htacess

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

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

Hope it will works.

Follow these step your problem will be solved

1- Download .htaccess file from here https://www.dropbox.com/s/tupcu1ctkb8pmmd/.htaccess?dl=0

2- Change the CodeIgnitor directory name on Line #5. like my directory name is abc (add your name)

3- Save .htaccess file on main directory (abc) of your codeignitor folder

4- Change uri_protocol from AUTO to PATH_INFO in Config.php file

Note: First of all you have to enable mod_rewrite from httpd.conf of apachi by removing the comments

Use this code. Change the 2nd line as you have your folder name. Where index.php file and folders application, system folder lie. Mostly problems happen due to second line. we don't configure the folder name where project is place. Important is 2nd line. This is simple to remove the index.php. RewriteEngine on RewriteBase /project_folder_name RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule .* index.php/$0 [PT,L]

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

Go to controller/config.php file.

config['index_url']='';

Besides these answers, one can just, add index.php or edit it (if it is already there) - for security you want to disable index.php anyway, from listing the files in your website directory - then change the content into

<?php
   header('location:your_required_starting.php'); 
?>

Minor thing: (Optional)

Try restarting your Apache after updating the rewrite engine status in vhosts as Rewrite ON.

One critical thing to notice:

In Apache vhosts file, check whether you have this script line AllowOverride None If yes, please remove/comment this line.

My vhosts file script: (Before)

<VirtualHost *:80>
    DocumentRoot "/path/to/workspace"
    ServerName ciproject
    ErrorLog "/path/to/workspace/error.log"
    CustomLog "/path/to/workspace/access.log" common
    Directory   "/path/to/workspace">
        Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
        AllowOverride None
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
    </Directory> 
</VirtualHost>

My vhosts file script: (After)

<VirtualHost *:80>
    DocumentRoot "/path/to/workspace"
    ServerName ciproject
    ErrorLog "/path/to/workspace/error.log"
    CustomLog "/path/to/workspace/access.log" common
    Directory   "/path/to/workspace">
        Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
        #AllowOverride None
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
    </Directory> 
</VirtualHost>

I faced the same problem, struggled for around 1 day, all were fine. Later, by trial and error method, found this thing. After removing this, my job was accomplished. The URL now does not look up for index.php :)

Note the difference with the added "?" character after ".php", especially when dealing with CodeIgniter:

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

vs.

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

It depends on several other things.. if doesn't work, try the other option!
