Rename route php or index.php in url Codeigniter

Question

I currently working on two applications in one codeigniter installation. The structured of the applications is:

somewebsite.com (main directory)
- webdesktop (directory)
- webmobile (directory)
- index.php (for webdesktop)
- mobile.php (for webmobile)
- .htaccess

I managed to remove the index.php to access the webdesktop app ( http://somewebsite.com/index.php/controller to http://somewebsite.com/controller ) using these config:

config.php (webdesktop):

$config['base_url'] = 'http://somewebsite.com';
$config['index_page'] = '';

.htaccess:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>

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

</IfModule>

The problem that I face right know is the url to access webmobile. I currently access it using this url : http://somewebsite.com/mobile.php/controller .

How to change mobile.php to just mobile ? so the url to access webmobile can become http://somewebsite.com/mobile/controller .

Answer 1

Just add this rule at your .htaccess file

RewriteRule ^mobile$ mobile.php

It will read mobile as mobile.php . So, if you need other changes to your URL, you can learn about htaccess rules.

Hopefully can help you.
