Codeigniter remove /index.php from URL - php

Question

Okay so I know that a lot of people have been asking the same or similar questions, but I don't seem to find a solution that works for my project. So please don't put this as a duplicate.
I have a website made with codeigniter. It was running just fine without the index.php in the url. So the rewrite was successfull. Until a few days ago: all of a sudden the admin area (/admin) returned a 404 and was only accessible by the path '/index.php/admin'. The rewrite code that once used to work didn't do a thing anymore.
And know I'm back at the start -> the problem is that I cannot delete the index.php from my url.
I tried so many things that I don't know what to do anymore.
The application is stored under 'public_html/application/...
The image below is inside the application folder where the .htaccess file and index.php are.
Is this the right location to change the .htaccess?
I tried rewriting the .htaccess but without success:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule .* index.php/$0 [PT,L]
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|public|\.txt)
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?$1
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond $1 !^CI/(index\.php|public|images|robots\.txt|css)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L]
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|images|robots|css\.txt)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L]
My config file:
$config['base_url'] = 'http://www.mysite.be/';
$config['index_page'] = '';
$config['uri_protocol'] = 'AUTO';
Routes.php:
$route['default_controller'] = "c_home/index";
$route['404_override'] = '';
$route['admin'] = "c_home/adminpanel";
$route['logout'] = "c_login/logout";
Does anybody have a clue what is going on or how this can be fixed?
Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

The .htaccess should be in the public_html directory -- ie: one level up from the current location.
The index.php is presumably in public_html already and
The index.* you have in the picture is index.html -- as it should be.
If .htaccess is in the right place per the above, then this .htaccess code will work:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?/$1 [L]

Answer 2

So I have been messing around with this and finally made it work
For this I made changes to the htaccess and controllers.
I changed the admin function to a new controller and changed this in the routes.php
new routing
$route['admin'] = "c_login/index";
new .htaccess
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule .* index.php/$0 [PT,L]

Answer 3

Try set
$config['uri_protocol'] = 'PATH_INFO'
And set
$config['enable_query_strings'] = FALSE;

Answer 4

If we need a remove /index.php from url in codeigniter
Than
application/config/config.php
$config['index_page'] = '';
$config['uri_protocol'] = 'REQUEST_URI';
add .htaccess file at root directory of project
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /[Your project folder name]/
RewriteCond $1 !^(index.php|resources|robots.txt)
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L,QSA]
Now you can access like
http://example.com/controller/method
May it's helpfull for you

I don't know what the heck you're doing with all that code, but I just put this in my .htaccess file:
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?/$1 [L]
And boom.
