Links not clickabe in CodeIgniter 3.0.3

I am confused why this link is not clickable or nothing happens in chrome, and in mozilla returns error something like 'address wasn't understood'...

HTML markup exactly is this

 <li><a href="<?php echo site_url('makers/create_makers')?>">Add new Makers</a></li>

which in turn, produce something like

   <li><a href="localhost:8089/makers/create_makers">Add new Makers</a></li>

The weird part is adding 'index'

    <li><a href="localhost:8089/makers/create_makers/index">Add new Makers</a></li>//works

Which means I have to add 'index' in every link created in order to work

Controller

  public function create_makers()
{
    $this->load->helper('form');
    $this->load->helper('url');

    $this->load->library('form_validation');

    $data['title'] = 'Add New Car Maker';
    $data['content'] = 'makers/create_makers';
    $data2['content']='makers/success';

    $this->form_validation->set_rules('name','name','required');
    $this->form_validation->set_rules('description','description','required');
    $this->form_validation->set_rules('nation_id','nation_id','required');

    if ($this->form_validation->run() === FALSE) 
    {
        $this->load->view('templates/layout', $data);
    } 
    else 
    {
        $this->makers_model->new_makers();

        $this->load->view('templates/layout',$data2');
    }

}

Inside config/config.php

 $config['base_url'] = 'localhost:8089';
  $config['index_page'] = 'index.php';//remove or not remove same still not working

routes 

$route['makers/create_makers'] = 'makers/create_makers';
$route['default_controller'] = 'services/index';

.htaccess is put inside root folder(outside application folder)

  RewriteEngine on
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
  RewriteRule .* index.php/$0 [PT,L]

I also tried to remove htaccess and put inside application folder but nothings happen when clicking the link

However if I manually add a trailing 'index', this will work.

 localhost:8089/makers/create_makers//doesn't work
 localhost:8089/makers/create_makers/index //works!

I am confuse about this in Codeigniter

Inside apache

 <VirtualHost *:80>
   #ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
    DocumentRoot /var/www/CodeIgniter-3.0.3/
    #AcceptPathInfo On
    <Directory /var/www/CodeIgniter-3.0.3/>
      Options FollowSymLinks Indexes
      AllowOverride All
      Require all granted
    </Directory>
    # Available loglevels: trace8, ..., trace1, debug, info, notice, warn,
    # error, crit, alert, emerg.
    # It is also possible to configure the loglevel for particular
    # modules, e.g.
    #LogLevel info ssl:warn

    #ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log


    #ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
    #CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
    ErrorLog /var/www/CodeIgniter-3.0.3/application/logs/error.log
    CustomLog /var/www/CodeIgniter-3.0.3/application/logs/access.log combined

mod_rewrite is enabled

Any help is appreciated

Lets tweak your .htaccess and see if it works

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

<Files "index.php">
 AcceptPathInfo On
</Files>

And remove index.php in your config file

$config['index_php']='';

And according to the codigniter docs

A URL containing the word “journals” in the first segment will be remapped to the “blogs” class.

$route['journals'] = 'blogs';

so lets apply this in your route file

$route['makers/new_makers'] = 'makers/create_makers';

Now your link will work without appending 'index' ..Something like

<li><a href="<?php echo site_url('makers/new_makers')?>">Add new Makers</a></li>

Remember, url inside $route[''] should mapped to a class and its method.In this case the url 

<?php echo site_url('makers/new_makers') ?>

Will look to the controller Makers and its method 

 create_makers()

which then render the view that contains create_makers.php inside the makers folder in your view folder.

You either have to load the url helper in the autoload file or in the construct of the controller.

Your url should look like this:

<li><a href="http://localhost:8089/makers/create_makers">Add new Makers</a></li>

If you don't have the http:// it won't work.

In addtion, you have to leave the $config['base_url'] blank and $config['index_page'].
