Codeigniter remove index.php - htaccess localhost

Question

I've tried every solution I found here on stack overflow but no success.

I'm running

XAMPP v3.2.1 on
Win 8.1 and
Codeigniter 3.0.4

With the latest release of Smarty 3. All that is working fine just until the point I try to remove the 'index.php' from the URLs.

config.php

$config['base_url'] = 'localhost';

$config['index_page'] = '';

routes.php

$route['default_controller'] = 'home';

$route['contact'] = 'contact';

.htaccess

<IfModule authz_core_module>
    Require all denied
</IfModule>
<IfModule !authz_core_module>
    Deny from all
</IfModule>
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
  RewriteEngine On
  # !IMPORTANT! Set your RewriteBase here and don't forget trailing and leading
  #  slashes.
  # If your page resides at
  #  http://www.example.com/mypage/test1
  # then use
  # RewriteBase /mypage/test1/
  RewriteBase /responsive_template/
  RewriteEngine on
  RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|images|robots\.txt)
  RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L]
</IfModule>

<IfModule !mod_rewrite.c>
  # If we don't have mod_rewrite installed, all 404's
  # can be sent to index.php, and everything works as normal.
  # Submitted by: ElliotHaughin

  ErrorDocument 404 /index.php
</IfModule>

Apache ' LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so ' enabled

<Directory />

    AllowOverride all

    Require all denied

</Directory>

If I access localhost/responsive_template/index.php/contact all works fine, only the localhost/responsive_template/contact ends with a 404 and that's it.

The whole codeigniter application folder is in a subdirectory 'responsive_template' under c:\xampp\htdocs

Thanks for any help guys, much appreciated.

I find with xampp and wamp this htaccess use full.

Options +FollowSymLinks
Options -Indexes
DirectoryIndex index.php
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|images|robots\.txt)
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L,QSA]

Make you place the htaccess file out side of the main application folder.

Set your base url some thing like

$config['base_url'] = 'http://localhost/project/';
$config['index_page'] = '';

Note: You can leave base url blank but some times when you submit a form you will find may not submit correctly. because it shows ip_adress in url instead of localhost

Directory

application

system

.htaccess

index.php

With codeIgniter 3 versions make sure also you have class and file names first letter upper case.

File name example: Welcome.php

<?php

class Welcome extends CI_Controller {

     public function index() {

     }
}

You should try this:

------------------------------------ config.php ----------------------------

    $config['base_url'] = '';
    $config['index_page'] = '';
    $config['uri_protocol'] = 'REQUEST_URI';// if this will not work. comment this line and remove comment from below line
 // $config['uri_protocol'] = 'AUTO'; 

---------------------------------- .htaccess -----------------------------

    RewriteEngine on
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule .* index.php/$0 [PT,L]

Note:- make sure your .htaccess file is placed at the root directory. In responsive_template directory with index.php file.
