Question

I am using CodeIgniter 2.1.1 my site structure is like

mysite/
    application/
        controllers/
            backend/
                welcome.php

            welcome.php

        views/
            backend/
            frontend/

        .htaccess

and I can access backend with

http://localhost/mysite/index.php/backend

but I want

http://localhost/mysite/backend

Similarly for frontend I want

http://localhost/mysite/

In config/config.php I set

$config['base_url'] = '';
$config['index_page'] = '';

and experiment many code in .htaccess the latest one is

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On

    #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 ^(.*)$ /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 ^(.*)$ /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 ^(.*)$ /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: ElliotHaughin

    ErrorDocument 404 /index.php
</IfModule>

Your .htaccessshould be in the root of your site, one level above the applicationfolder.
