Below is the general documentation for editing the .htaccess file to remove index.php from a url
The documentation examples is
example.com/index.php/news/article/my_article
will be the same as
example.com/news/article/my_article
using .htaccess file of:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]
https://www.codeigniter.com/userguide3/general/urls.html
However, I tend to use a lot of subdomains of the format
server.com/website1
server.com/website2
To remove index.php from a subdomain is a bit different, you need to add an additional line to .htaccess
RewriteBase /website1/
or
RewriteBase /website2/
The .htaccess file should be:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /SUBDOMAIN/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]
Another interesting Codeigniter Project I found last weekend was
https://github.com/kenjis/codeigniter-composer-installer
I was having some issues with the controller not finding the libraries i put in the third_part folder. I had the include path correct to the library and it worked on my localhost but wouldn’t work on the server. I couldn’t figure out the issue and instead used the above project and that worked with no issues on localhost and the server.
