http://sample.com/home/index to http://sample.com

http://localhost:8888/sample/home to http://localhost:8888/sample/

When you need to redirect to home page redirect('/');

URL Helper

On your config base_url() make sure is set

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

You may need to remove index.php and have a suitable htaccess file in main directory.

$config['index_page'] = '';

Htaccess example for main directory

Options +FollowSymLinks
Options -Indexes
DirectoryIndex index.php
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|images|robots\.txt)
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L,QSA]

Your home controller route should the be set on default route application -> config -> routes.php

Codeigniter URI Routing User Guide Page

$route['default_controller'] = 'home';

Then autoload url helper

$autoload['helper'] = array('url');

The if you need to redirect to home controller make sure file name Home.php

and use redirect('/');

Note: Codeigniter 3 is case sensitive make sure first letter all ways upper case on file name and class name
