Clean URL - removing index.php from URL in CI not working

Question

I'm using CodeIgniter v.3.0.4 and I'm unable to remove the 'index.php' from URL.

I've added the .htaccess file:

<ifmodule mod_rewrite.c="">
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /project_01/

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^system.*
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?/$1 [L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^application.*
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?/$1 [L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?/$1 [L]
</ifmodule>
<ifmodule !mod_rewrite.c="">

ErrorDocument 404 /index.php
</ifmodule>

In application folder > config.php > I edited the value to:

$config['index_page'] = '';

And:

$config['uri_protocol']= 'REQUEST_URI';

And:

$config['base_url'] = 'http://localhost/Project_01/';

I checked that my Apache server conf file does not have the pound sign next to the line:
```
LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so
```

What am I doing wrong? Or what am I not doing?

It worked fine in prior versions of CI, what changed?

can you give an example URL and what it should be rewritten to? — Stupid Palmer

instead of the CI default structure "localhost/Project_01/index.php/about" I wanna make it a clean URL, without the 'index.php' like so: "localhost/Project_01/about" — Revitalation

The Rewrite seems ok as long as its in /Project_01/.htaccess. what's the problem you're seeing when you request localhost/Project_01/about ? — Stupid Palmer

Because your rule is sending the request to the query string, you need to use QUERY_STRING for the uri_protocol, and not REQUEST_URI.

As an alternative, and if you would like to keep REQUEST URI, you can change the rule to either one of the following:

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]

RewriteRule ^ index.php [L]
