Cannot remove index.php from Codeigniter for Ubuntu - php

Question

The last one I follow is here How to remove index.php from codeigniter in UBUNTU [duplicate]
I have one controller that look like this:
<?php
defined('BASEPATH') OR exit('No direct script access allowed');
class Login extends CI_Controller {
public function index()
{
$this->load->view('login.html');
}
}
When I access it by this URL: http://localhost/homerent/Login, I got 404 not found.
I follow from answer above in referent link by
$config['index_page'] = '';
restart apache2 service: sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 reload
Add below code to /var/www/html/my_ci_site/.htaccess
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|static|robots\.txt|favicon\.ico|uploads|googlexxxxxxxx\.html|mobile.html)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]
Replace every instance of AllowOverride None to AllowOverride All in /etc/apache2/apache2.conf
Enable rewrite mode: sudo a2enmod rewrite
Finally restart apache2 service again.
After all, I access my url again http://localhost/homerent/Login I still get 404 not found.
I have no clue what is wrong with that.

In Ubuntu You have to do virtual host to working.
For this first in /etc/apache2/sites-available create yourproject.conf file(may be you may need root permissions use sudo command)
For this in terminal
cd /etc/apache2/sites-available
Then
sudo nano yourproject.conf
Copy below content and paste into it
<VirtualHost *:3434>
ServerName localhost
DirectoryIndex index.php
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/yourprojectfolder
<Directory "/var/www/html/yourprojectfolder">
Options All
AllowOverride All
Allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
Note:You can use different ports here
Then run
sudo nano /etc/apache2/ports.conf
In this file add line (Do not edit existing ports )
Listen 3434
Then run
sudo a2ensite yourproject.conf
sudo a2enmod rewrite
in config.php
$config['base_url'] = 'http://localhost:3434';
$config['uri_protocol'] = 'REQUEST_URI';
$config['index_page'] = '';
Create .htaccess inside yourproject folder with below content
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|images|robots\.txt)
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]
Then restart apache to take effect the changes
Now you can access your site through the url http://localhost:3434(This will load the defaulf controller) and no need to add the project folder in the url
for example http://localhost/homerent/Login is the url using now and
After setting up virtual host
You can use http://localhost:3434/Login
