    text
    copied!<p>I'm having some trouble using Codeigniter2. Essentially I want to remove the annoying "index.php" from my url so that:</p> <pre><code> - http://localhost/ci_intro/index.php/site/home Becomes - http://localhost/ci_intro/home </code></pre> <p>I've followed a couple of the links on Stack Overflow already and have found the following two posts:</p> <p><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5155333/remove-index-php-from-url-codeigniter-2">Remove index.php From URL - Codeigniter 2</a></p> <p>And</p> <p><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/11016778/removing-index-php-from-codeigniter-2">Removing index.php from codeigniter-2</a></p> <p>However after performing both steps still no joy.</p> <p>My .htaccess is as follows:</p> <pre><code>&lt;IfModule mod_rewrite.c&gt; RewriteEngine On RewriteBase /ci_intro/ #Removes access to the system folder by users. #Additionally this will allow you to create a System.php controller, #previously this would not have been possible. #'system' can be replaced if you have renamed your system folder. RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^system.* RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /ci_intro/index.php?/$1 [L] #When your application folder isn't in the system folder #This snippet prevents user access to the application folder #Submitted by: Fabdrol #Rename 'application' to your applications folder name. RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^application.* RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /ci_intro/index.php?/$1 [L] #Checks to see if the user is attempting to access a valid file, #such as an image or css document, if this isn't true it sends the #request to index.php RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /ci_intro/index.php?/$1 [L] &lt;/IfModule&gt; &lt;IfModule !mod_rewrite.c&gt; # If we don't have mod_rewrite installed, all 404's # can be sent to index.php, and everything works as normal. # Submitted by: ElliotHaughin ErrorDocument 404 /index.php &lt;/IfModule&gt; </code></pre> <p>I've ensured that the mod_rewrite module is enable in Apache (I'm using Xampp on Windows) but for some reason it's just not working as i'd expect it to.</p> <p>I have two views in CodeIgniter2, one called Home and another called About. These two link to each other. The links are as follows:</p> <pre><code> &lt;a href="home"&gt;Home&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br/&gt; &lt;a href="about"&gt;About&lt;/a&gt; </code></pre> <p>If I go to the root URL of my project:</p> <pre><code> http://localhost/ci_intro/ </code></pre> <p>The index function of the Home page is displayed. That's fine and as expected. However, if I then click either link it redirects to:</p> <pre><code> http://localhost/ci_intro/home or http://localhost/ci_intro/about </code></pre> <p>Which produces a 404. However if I then type "site" in the URL, the name of my controller, the links take me through to the correctly loaded views:</p> <pre><code> http://localhost/ci_intro/site/home or http://localhost/ci_intro/site/about </code></pre> <p>Is there any known way of bypassing this approach so that the controller,in this case site, is removed from the URL entirely as using site/home or site/about in the links in my view does not appear to work?</p>
