How to remove class name and controller name from url in codeigniter?

Question

I'm developping a website using CI and today I'm facing a problem . Here is my link .

http://example.com/subfolder/site/page/Snowman_Trek_24_Days

i want to change my link like

http://example.com/subfolder/Snowman_Trek_24_Days

i update my config file -

$config['uri_protocol'] = 'QUERY_STRING';
$config['enable_query_strings'] = TRUE;

also i tested this -

$config['uri_protocol'] = 'PATH_INFO';
$config['enable_query_strings'] = TRUE;

In route.php file i used this code -

$route['default_controller'] = 'site';
$route['404_override'] = '';
$route['translate_uri_dashes'] = FALSE;
$route['page/(:any)'] = "site/page/$1";

My htaccess code is :-

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /folder/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?/$1 [QSA,L]

After doing all this i am getting this error :- Unable to determine what should be displayed. A default route has not been specified in the routing file.Can anybody help me .

Try with this: in your .htaccess file put

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /subfolder/# is this subfolder from URL we are speaking about?
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^subfolder/(.*)$ index.php?/subfolder/$1 [QSA,L]

Now all your request should avoid subfolder segment in URL. But also you have to design URLs in APPPATH.'config/config.php' file and in controller to have:

$route['(:any)'] = "site/page/$1";

So

http://example.com/subfolder/Snowman_Trek_24_Days

should be valid path. Be aware of (:any) wildcard because it will reroute any other request not site/page/$1 only and has to be at the end of routes.php file. Any other routes you want to execute, you have to put before that one explicitly. Example:

$route['login'] = 'auth/login';

$route['about'] = 'staticpage/about';
$route['contact'] = 'staticpage/contact';

$route['(:any)'] = "site/page/$1";
