Answer 1

Had some problems with finding where to change the "AllowOverRide All".

From this guide I found the (default) file.

Remove Index.php CodeIgniter URL On Ubuntu

1. Preliminary Note. I'm running all the steps in this tutorial with root privileges, so make sure you're logged in as root:

   sudo su
   

2. Enable mod_rewrite module on apache. First enable the module as follows:

   a2enmod rewrite
   

   Change all occurrence of "AllowOverRide None" to "AllowOverRide All". Basically all "None" to "All" in the following file:

    gedit **/etc/apache2/sites-available/default**
   

   Restart Apache:

   /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
   

3. Open file config.php on CodeIgniter (application\config). Remove index.php on $config['index_page'] = "index.php";

   $config['index_page'] = "";
   

4. Make file .htaccess on CodeIgniter root directory. Fill the file with this code :

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

Now Index.php on CodeIgniter URL disappear
