I can't remove the index.php from the CodeIgniter URL - php

Question

I want to remove index.php from the path in CodeIgniter.
I tried to change the value of index_page in the config file as the following:
$config['index_page'] = '';
then I tried all these .htaccess :
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
# Hide the application and system directories by redirecting the request to index.php
RewriteRule ^(application|system|\.svn) index.php/$1 [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [QSA,L]
Options -Indexes
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|assets/|robots\.txt)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|robots\.txt)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L]
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]
<Files "index.php">
AcceptPathInfo On
</Files>
But none of them has worked.
I also tried to to change the uri_protocol to this :
$config['uri_protocol'] = 'ORIG_PATH_INFO';
But it's still doesn't work.
How can I solve this problem ?
Edit :
I tried this code to check if the mod_rewrite is enabled :
<?php
if( ! function_exists('apache_get_modules') ){ phpinfo(); die; }
$result = ' not available';
if(in_array('mod_rewrite',apache_get_modules())) $result = 'available';
?>
<p><?php echo apache_get_version(),"</p><p>mod_rewrite $result"; ?></p>
And I get this result :
Apache/2.2.22 (Ubuntu)
mod_rewrite not available

I had the same issue.. then finally it worked with the following code
just follow these simple steps :
1. save the following code into .htaccss file..
2. put it in the main project folder (not the application folder)
3. rename the "/projectFolderName/" part on 3rd line of the code as
your project folder name.
Then you are done. Refresh and see.
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /projectFolderName/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^system.*
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?/$1 [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^application.*
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?/$1 [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?/$1 [L]
</IfModule>

This works for me. Inyour .htaccess file write:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule .* index.php/$0 [PT,L]
and in your config.php file :
$config['uri_protocol'] = 'AUTO';
Make sure yout htaccess is in your root folder not in applications folder.
