Remove index.php from Codeigniter URL

By default Codeigniter URL may look like http://www.example.com/index.php/controller/method.

To change this to seo friendly like  http://www.example.com/controller/method we have to do some changes in .htaccess.

1.Create .htaccess file in the root and place the below code

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]

2.Dont forget to enable rewrite_module in apache modules if you didnt enabled it yet.To enable it goto WAMP->Apache->Apache modules->rewrite_module

3.In the config file change index_change to empty

$config['index_page'] ="";

Also change

$config['rewrite_short_tags'] = TRUE;
