In Codeigniter, how to make controller run index() without having to write /index in url?

Question

I'm setting up my first personal codeigniter project and my .htaccess file is this:

            <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
            # Turn on URL rewriting
            RewriteEngine On

            # If your website begins from a folder e.g localhost/my_project then 
            # you have to change it to: RewriteBase /my_project/
            # If your site begins from the root e.g. example.local/ then
            # let it as it is
            RewriteBase /madrigal/

            # Protect application and system files from being viewed when the index.php is missing
            RewriteCond $1 ^(application|system|private|logs)

            # Rewrite to index.php/access_denied/URL
            RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/access_denied/$1 [PT,L]

            # Allow these directories and files to be displayed directly:
            RewriteCond $1 ^(index\.php|robots\.txt|favicon\.ico|public|assets|css|js|images)

            # No rewriting
            RewriteRule ^(.*)$ - [PT,L]

            # Rewrite to index.php/URL
            RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [PT,L]
            </IfModule>

I have set up my config.php file to $config['index_page'] = ''; and $config['uri_protocol'] = 'REQUEST_URI'; but when I go to my controller /admin/, index isn't ran unless I type out "/index" at the end of the URL. Is my htaccess file disallowing that?

Thanks for any help

Thank you, but the CI user guide on this is actually outdated, which is why I'm here asking.

You can easily remove this index.php by using a .htaccess file with some simple rules.

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|images|robots\.txt|css|img|js)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L]

In the above example, any HTTP request other than those for index.php, images, and robots.txt is treated as a request for your index.php file. You can read the documentation here

$config['index_page'] is the configuration for your default page to call and not for removing index.php in your URI
