im not sure if im doing this right…but im trying to remove the index.php from needing to be present during controller calls,

reading through the user guide, i see that in order to do that, you add the following to the htaccess

however for some reason, everytime i add the following code, i get a 500 server error when i try to view my site (on a local machine, using apache)

anything im doing wrong?

Check out this out for a new updated htaccess.

For this one though, your htaccess is fine, you need to edit your config.php

should be changed to

Try using this minor adjustment if that one is not working

Notice the ? after index.php

For this one though, your htaccess is fine, you need to edit your config.php

$config['index_page'] = "index.php"; 

should be changed to

$config['index_page'] = ""; 

Try using this minor adjustment if that one is not working

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine on
    RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|images|robots\.txt)
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?/$1 [L]
</IfModule> 

Notice the ? after index.php

Could you please explain what the ? mark after index.php indicate, why is this required

Honestly, it’s been awhile since I tried that addition, so I do not recall the reason why it works.

I just remember when I switched web hosts, all of a sudden my rewrite rules were not working and when I googled for information, this was one of the suggestions that was made and it worked.

Sorry.

well that worked…but it broke my methods..haha

for some reason,methods didnt work after that..

There is actually a whole new set of rewrite rules CI put out lately too. It’s more like wordpress now. Check out the link I posted in the first reply.

yea i followed them all except for 3…it was a bit confusing and i wasnt sure what that as asking for.
not sure ifthat was the problem.

but when i applied 1-2,4+5 from the link you provided, it DID remove the index.php, but my functions/methods didnt work using the /function/ methods.
