How can I remove index.php using Codeigniter on XAMPP? - .htaccess

Question

I can't hide Codeigniter index.php on XAMPP 1.7.3
URL:
http://localhost/Servidor/agentesRainbow/index.php/agentes/tony
tony is an argument
My actual .htaccess:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /Servidor/agentesRainbow/
#'system' can be replaced if you have renamed your system folder.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^system.*
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /Servidor/agentesRainbow/index.php/$1 [L]
#Checks to see if the user is attempting to access a valid file,
#such as an image or css document, if this isn't true it sends the
#request to index.php
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
#This last condition enables access to the images and css folders, and the robots.txt file
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|images|css|public|)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /Servidor/agentesRainbow/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.
ErrorDocument 404 /application/errors/404.php
</IfModule>
My routes.php:
$route['agentes/(:any)'] = "agentes/index/$1";
$route['default_controller'] = "agentes";
$route['scaffolding_trigger'] = "";
My config.php:
$config['base_url'] = "http://localhost/Servidor/agentesRainbow/";
$config['index_page'] = "";
$config['uri_protocol'] = "AUTO";
On httpd.conf:
LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so
<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
</Directory>
<Directory /Servidor/agentesRainbow/>
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
</Directory>

Answer 1

Add this line to the REQUEST_FILENAME conditions:
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /Servidor/agentesRainbow/index.php/$1 [L]
Here is the updated .htaccess:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /Servidor/agentesRainbow/
#'system' can be replaced if you have renamed your system folder.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^system.*
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /Servidor/agentesRainbow/index.php/$1 [L]
#Checks to see if the user is attempting to access a valid file,
#such as an image or css document, if this isn't true it sends the
#request to index.php
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /Servidor/agentesRainbow/index.php/$1 [L]
#This last condition enables access to the images and css folders, and the robots.txt file
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|images|css|public)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /Servidor/agentesRainbow/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.
ErrorDocument 404 /application/errors/404.php
</IfModule>
Hope it solves your problem!

Answer 2

I think the bar at the end of the rewrite condition is causing a problem. At least it broke the rewriting for me.
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|images|css|public|)
Try removing the bar.
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|images|css|public)

Answer 3

base_url should be just "http://localhost";
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|other|directories|you|want|accessible|robots\.txt)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]
</IfModule>
