CodeIgniter - Removing index.php by Changing .htaccess and httpd.conf

I've done this many, many times. But whenever I setup a new site on a new developer machine, I will have to do research over and over again. I decided to write down the details, actually only a few steps.

1. Remove the index.php in the CI config file
   $config['index_page'] = "";
   
   
2. Add .htacess file in the root of your application
   RewriteEngine on
   RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|images|robots\.txt)
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
   RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L,QSA]
   
   
3. Uncomment the mod_rewrite in httpd.conf
   LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so
   
   
4. Change None to All
   <Directory />
   Options FollowSymLinks
   AllowOverride All
   Order deny,allow
   Deny from all
   </Directory>
   
   
5. As well as the web root folder (this is needed)
   <Directory "C:Apache/htdocs">
   Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
   AllowOverride All
   Order allow,deny
   Allow from all
   </Directory>
   

And done!
