Codeigniter 3 remove index.php not working and throws 404 Page Not Found

Question

I am stuck with removing index.php.

mod Rewrite is enabled in my apache, I have checked earlier

my url

http://localhost/projects/ci/admin

Here is my controller

class Admin extends CI_Controller{
    public function index()
    {
        echo "Admin Function";
    }
}

here is my .htaccess file, which I copied from Codeigniter user_guide

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

done everything to run it:

changed $config['base_url'] = ''; to $config['base_url'] = 'http://localhost/projects/ci/';

changed $config['uri_protocol'] = 'REQUEST_URI'; to $config['uri_protocol'] = 'AUTO'; and vice-versa

also $config['index_page'] = 'index.php'; to $config['index_page'] = ''; with the help of stackoverflow solutions but failed to do so.

You should have to do this, but does it work if you specify the routes? Also, what is the name of the controller file? — Goose, Jan 10 '18 at 19:07
You should configure the server so that `localhost` points to the folder `/what/ever/projects/ci/`. Then use `$config['base_url'] = 'http://localhost/'; — DFriend, Jan 10 '18 at 19:42
Just because mod rewrite is enabled doesn't mean you're allowed to use .htaccess files. You need to ensure that apache is configured to Allowoverride = all — Brian Gottier, Jan 10 '18 at 20:35
http://localhost/projects/ci/index.php/admin is this working @syed — saurabh kamble, Jan 11 '18 at 07:25

in .htaccess file copy the below code and save it and then try it

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|resources|robots\.txt)
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L,QSA]

still not working – Syed Khizer Jan 11 '18 at 13:17
Did you save your controller as "Admin.php"or 'admin.php'. If you save it 'admin.php' then you have to save as "Admin.php". – Varsha Jan 11 '18 at 15:39
i save it as admin.php , – Syed Khizer Jan 12 '18 at 15:54
so you have to save as "Admin.php" not as "admin.php". – Varsha Jan 13 '18 at 18:29
sure i will save it as "Admin.php" , and let you know – Syed Khizer Jan 17 '18 at 19:08

I'm sharing my configuration on an application im developing (with CI)

In the file ../application/config/routes.php, line 53 on CI v3.1.6

$route['default_controller'] = 'MyDefaultController';

.htaccess

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|resources|robots\.txt)
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L,QSA]

As far as i know does not really matter if u remove index.php if all ur system files are allocated on the ../public_html folder on your server, if not, u should keep it and make the changes so CI "knows" where to find system, application and views files.

Also if u delete index.php and don't set the the default controller on routes.php, (sorry about my english here) CI will not find its "index page".

In short, check the default controller on routes.php Hope it helps.
