Any ideas? i have googling and try any tutorials to remove index.php but it still failed until now

Answer 1

Do add below code into the your .htaccess file. It will remove public/index.php from url

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ public/index.php/$1 [L]
</IfModule>

If .htaccess file is not present then do create it. And after adding this code if still not working then contact with server admin to make working this file.

Add this code in your .htaccess file and place it on root directory

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^system.*
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|images|js|uploads|css|robots\.txt)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?/$1 [L,QSA]

And change in your config file with this

$config['index_page'] = '';
$config['uri_protocol'] = 'AUTO';

Below are the steps of removing public and index.php from the website / application

1. Move all files from public folder to the root (using older site structure).
2. Edit root index.php and set $path = “.”;
3. Rename 1.htaccess to .htaccess
4. Edit .htaccess line 158 Rewrite-base / (add sub folder path if site hosted under sub directory)
5. Open config.php in folder application/config and set $config[“base_url”] = “” and $config[“index.php”]=””

With these changes your CI Bonfire application will now have more user friendly urls.
