i am using xampp with windows xp pro.
i read the user guide and wiki about the mode_rewrite to take index.php away from the url but still it showed up.
i have set up every thing as wiki and every thing is fine.
this url is working http://localhost/ci/index.php/blog
but when i rty http://localhost/ci/blog the page redirect to this page http://localhost/xampp
please help
thanks

It would be helpful if you posted the .htaccess file you’re actually using and where it is located in relation to your CI app. Also, check you’ve removed index.php in the config file, $config[‘index_page’] = ‘’;.

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

<IfModule !mod_rewrite.c>
  # If we don’t have mod_rewrite installed, all 404’s
  # can be sent to index.php, and everything works as normal.
  # Submitted by: ElliotHaughin

  ErrorDocument 404 /index.php
</IfModule>

and is located in directory c:/xampp/htdocs/ci/
and i have removed the index.php from C:\xampp\htdocs\ci\system\application\config\config.php
and mode_rewrite in the C:\xampp\apache\conf\httpd.config is active
thanks for reply

You need to change RewriteBase / to where your CI index.php is, relative to your website’s base dir, so in your case you should change it to /ci/.

thanks
it is working and every ting is fine now.
