Unable to remove index.php in Codeigniter

Question

I want to remove index.php to access my controllers directly. However, I cannot directly go my controller. I have to use index.php. For example: I want to go http://example.com/my_controller/method instead of http://example.com/index.php/my_controller/method

By the way, I used my test server, not local server like XAMPP. I enabled apache mod rewrite in my server.

I tried a lot of htaccess rules, conditions but I cannot work it. Please help me!

This is my .htaccess file:

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

my config.php:

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

How can I go directly?

First of what version of codeigniter are you using and what localhost xampp, wamp etc — Mr. ED, Jan 15 '16 at 22:29
If your using wamp make sure you have enabled apache mod rewrite. And make your your htaccess is in main directory out side of application folder. — Mr. ED, Jan 15 '16 at 22:50
@wolfgang1983 No, I dont use it since I use my test server, not a local server. Also, I enabled apache mod rewrite in my server and I tried main directory. — Sevki Kocadag, Jan 15 '16 at 22:51

How about verifying that mod_rewrite is actually enabled. You could follow the instructions here: How to check whether mod_rewrite is enable on server?

How about removing the If statement... – plhyhc Jan 15 '16 at 23:52
How about testing rewrite by following these instructions to intentionally to get HTTP 500 error. That should prove it is working. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9234289/verify-if-htaccess-file-is-running – plhyhc Jan 17 '16 at 02:57

Try this code in your .htaccess file

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|images|css|robots\.txt)
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-l
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]

did you restart the server after change the .htaccess – sasy Jan 16 '16 at 12:50
Yes, I did. If I did not restart it, I couldn't see the module in loaded modules by using phpinfo() – Sevki Kocadag Jan 16 '16 at 23:38
