how remove index php from url in codeigniter using htaccess

Hi there,

I am currently using codeIgniter 2.1.4,

I am aware that you can remove the 'index.php' in the url with a mod rewrite using the htaccess file.

However I do not know how to go about doing it.

Can anyone offer a solutions.

I have attached the project that I am working on, so please take a look.

Kind Regards

Hi,

1.Create your htaccess file
2.Set $config[‘index_page’] to an empty (config.php)
3.string Set $config['uri_protocol'] = 'REQUEST_URI'; (config.php)

htaccess file:

Options -Indexes
Options +FollowSymLinks

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

#Removes access to the system folder by users.
#Additionally this will allow you to create a System.php controller,

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^system.*
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?/$1 [L]

#When your application folder isn't in the system folder

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^application.*
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?/$1 [L]

#Checks to see if the user is attempting to access a valid file,
#such as an image or css document, if this isn't true it sends the
#request to index.php

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

Hope this will help you.
