How do I remove ‘index.php’ from URL in CodeIgniter?

by

Try this out in your .htaccess file: The comments should help get it tweaked in for you…

This works perfectly for me in several CodeIgniter website installations. Also, if mod_rewrite is not installed, it will send you to a 404 page (or you can change that to suite your purpose).

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /

    #'system' can be replaced if you have renamed your system folder.
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^system.*
    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

    #This last condition enables access to the images and css folders, and the robots.txt file
    RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|(.*)\.swf|images|robots\.txt|css|docs|cache)
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ 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.
    ErrorDocument 404 /application/errors/404.php
</IfModule>

Check your virtual hosts file and see if you have these items set — these may allow your .htaccess file to rewrite the URL correctly:

Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
