Question

Answer 1

This is what I use and works. Use this code in your .htaccess

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

Just make sure the .htaccess is in your root folder. (ie: xampp/htdocs)

Then in your config.php(application\config) replace config['index_page']='index.php' to config['index_page']=''.
