CodeIgniter removing index.php from url

Question

My current urls look like this [mysite]index.php/[rest of the slug].
I want to strip index.php from these urls.

mod_rewrite is enabled on my apache2 server. In config, $config['index_page'] = '';

My codeignitor root .htaccess file contains,

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

But still it is not working. Where am I going wrong?

Try the following

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 mod_rewrite.c>
  RewriteEngine On
  #RewriteBase /

  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
  RewriteRule ^ index.php [QSA,L]
</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

`RewriteRule .* index.php/$1 [PT,L]` - this won't pass the URL-path unless you change the `RewriteRule` _pattern_ from `.*` to `(.*)`. However, if you're using `$config['uri_protocol'] = 'REQUEST_URI';` then this is irrelevant anyway. – MrWhite Jan 25 '20 at 00:48

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]

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";

For some reason all these answers does not work for me. I can access the pages when I add /index.php/ in url. — Bilal Ahmad, May 15 '20 at 11:19

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)

Go to controller/config.php file.

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 :)

if all the above solution not work then in your project folder their will be two files index.html and index.php, rename index.html to index_1.html and browse your project.

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!

You can eliminate index.php from URL by create .htaccess file in the base directory of your porject, that file its content as

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|assets|images|js|css|uploads|favicon.png)
RewriteCond %(REQUEST_FILENAME) !-f
RewriteCond %(REQUEST_FILENAME) !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ ./index.php/$1 [L]

save that file also your changed in config.php file is right

$config['index_page'] = '';

I wish to run successfully

In CodeIgniter 3.16 in using htaccess to

remove index.php file

& also

redirect HTTP to HTTPS

Follow are the codes:

go to application\config\config.php file

Make changes

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

To

$config['index_page'] = '';

Now, Open the .htaccess file, and update the codes below

RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /

## Redirect SSL
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80 
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R,L]

## Remove fron url index.php
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond $1 !^/(index\.php|assets/|humans\.txt)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]

Create a .htaccess file in root directory (change RewriteBase by project name)

After creating the .htaccess file, add the following code to this file.

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /CodeigniterCURD/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^system.*
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]

Removing index.php file (IN CONFIG.PHP FILE)

Open the config.php file in your text editor and remove index.php from here.

Change:

$config['index_page'] = "index.php";
To:
$config['index_page'] = '';

But in a few cases, it may happen that the default setting for url_protocol does not work properly. For solving this problem we need to open config.php and

Change: according to your project name

$config['base_url'] = 'http://localhost:8082/CodeIgniter/';
