Cannot remove index.php from CodeIgniter URL

.htaccess codeigniter codeigniter-2

My directory structure is /var/www/CI/ with all the folders viz., application, system under the folder CI. Have created a .htaccess file under CI.

Following is the code in .htacess.

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|public|images|robots\.txt|css)
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]
</IfModule>

Still localhost/CI/blog gives 404 error. Can anyone guide as to where this rule is wrong?

Please try the following

At first, make sure you set the config file like the following..

$config['index_page'] = '';

Also make sure that mod_rewrite is enabled in the httpd.conf file and after that, overwrite your .htaccess file which is located your project root folder not in the application folder with the following code..

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|public|\.txt)
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?$1
