Question

In order to access a controller, why do I have to type index.php/ControllerName to access that controller. Why cant I specify the controller name directly from the base url? like so/ControllerName

Answer 1

Add this to your htaccess file:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|images|robots\.txt)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L]

By default, the index.php file will is included in your URLs but you can remove it using this method.
