Question

Normally I access a page like this: http://localhost/codeigniter/index.php/auth/login
However I want to be able to access to the page like this : http://localhost/codeigniter/auth/login

I have no information about http.conf and .htaccess configurations.

I have set $config['index_page'] = ''; in codeigniter/application/config/config.php

my http.conf file is at its default except uncommentnig “LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so“

I inspected many proposed .htaccess files but I could not understand the logic behind the rewriting rules.

Here is the most successful .htaccess content for me. It is located at /www/CodeIgniter/ .
(by the most successful I mean that this is the only one that gives 404 error created by the CodeIgniter not by the server.)

    RewriteOptions Inherit
Options -Indexes
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteBase /CodeIgniter/
# Set the default file for indexes
DirectoryIndex index.php

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>

    # activate URL rewriting
    RewriteEngine on

    # do not rewrite links to the documentation, assets and public files
    RewriteCond $1 !^(images|assets|uploads|captcha)

    # do not rewrite for php files in the document root, robots.txt or the maintenance page
    RewriteCond $1 !^([^\..]+\.php|robots\.txt)

    # but rewrite everything else
    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.

    ErrorDocument 404 index.php

</IfModule>

I hate requesting direct solutions however unfortunately, it is my last resort :/
Can you give me a right solution to my problem?

It’s my repeat answer:
Codeigniter issues with paths in localhost (XAMPP)

please create .htaccess file in project folder and write:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

# Rewrite all other URLs to index.php/URL
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?url=$1 [PT,L] 

</IfModule>
<IfModule !mod_rewrite.c>
 ErrorDocument 404 index.php
</IfModule>

You don’t need to define in base_url in config file:

$config['base_url'] = ''; // blank it.
