Codeigniter Remove index.php from Browser Url - php

Question

I want to create a app url 'http://example.com'. But entering the url, it shows 'HTTP Error 403.14 - Forbidden'. when i have inserted 'index.php' at the last of url like 'http://example.com/index.php' the landing page is rendering in the browser
I have changed the
$config['base_url'] = 'http://example.com';
$config['index_page'] = '';
and
$config['uri_protocol'] = 'REQUEST_URI';
in config.php file. Then i have placed the .htaccess file in the codeigniter root folder along with application and system folder. Then in the .htaccess file i have coded with
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]
</IfModule>
I just want to remove the 'index.php' from the url. I am using IIS 8.5 web server.

Answer 2

Replace this line:-
$config['uri_protocol'] = 'REQUEST_URI';
to
$config['uri_protocol'] = 'AUTO';
also change your base url as below.
$config['base_url'] = 'http://'.$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'].'/';
Write your rules as below:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L]
Hope it will work for you :)

In config.php,
remove index.php in $config['index_page']
For ex :
$config['index_page'] = '';
