  • Step 8 if you want to remove index.php from the base URL then just create a .htaccess file into your project folder and paste code below:

 

  • RewriteEngine on
  • RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|resources|robots\.txt)
  • RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
  • RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
  • RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L,QSA]
  • And You should remove index.php from you config file under \application\config in :-
