Question

CodeIgniter beginner here. The base URL of my website is ‘http://localhost/routing/‘.

// config.php
$config['base_url'] = 'http://localhost/routing/';

I’m simply trying to route the url ‘http://localhost/routing/admin‘ to the admin controller using the following rules but it doesn’t work. Instead I have to use ‘http://localhost/routing/index.php/admin‘.

$route['default_controller'] = 'seasons';
$route['admin'] = 'admin';
$route['404_override'] = '';

Question: is there a way to remove ‘index.php’ from the url?

Answer 1

is there a way to remove ‘index.php’ from the url?

Yes, as well as being a very popular question on SO, it is covered in the CodeIgniter documentation (which is very good and I highly recommend reading).
