How to remove controller name from url making it clean in codeigniter

Question

I have the following url..

http://localhost/ci/site_controller/home

I want to remove site_controller controller

Answer 1

Drop the 'ci' from your routes. That is your project name and is never required. Routes always start on the controller level:

$route['home'] = "site_controller/home";

Will work. However, more importantly.. are you sure your design is correct? Why not just let home be a controller? Create a /application/controllers/home.php and you'll be able to access it's index() function with http://localhost/ci/home.

You're complicating things. No need for routes at all.
