ok, i did exactly as asked in the documentation of codeigniter, created new file .htaccess
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|images|robots\.txt)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L]
i am using xampp, so my url for accessing the site was
http://localhost:12/projects/zorkif_nextgen/index.php/main
now after applying the above .htaccess file, i tried it without index.php like this
http://localhost:12/projects/zorkif_nextgen/main
but instead of working, it is redirecting me to this url
http://localhost:12/xampp
How to resolve this issue?
plus i am getting error on my page after trying the .htaccess
on top of page message is appearing,
Error Occured.
