How to remove index.php in Wamp?

I 've been using CodeIgniter in XAMPP. There was no problem to redirect to a function URL (e.g., function1): 

http://localhost/function1

When I changed to WAMP, I got a problem. I could not redirect to function1. However, function1 is still accessed at:

http://localhost/index.php/function1

How to configure WAMP and CodeIgniter to remove index.php? In order that I could run function1 as I run using XAMPP.

Thank you.

Solution

  • Please try the following:

    1) Create .htaccess file in parallel to application folder and just copy paste the following code:

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

    2) Change $config['index_page'] to blank in config.php in application folder as below:

    $config['index_page'] = '';

    3) Enable "rewrite_module" of apache. Click on WAMP symbol -> Apache -> Apache modules -> rewrite_module

    Now you can access your site without index.php in url.
