I'm new to codeigniter and I'm working on a project that is done on this framework. When I try to access a url such as "mysite.com/about", it gives me and an error
404 Not found
,
I tried many .htaccess file on wamp and a live host but the result is the same.
I can Access these file by using "mysite.com/index.php/about" but I want to access as this "mysite.com/about" this not only for about page but all so very page that I try to access by using like this "mysite.com/contact-us"
.How do I fix this?

Write this code in your .htaccess file and in wamp server click on rewrite_module
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]
IndexIgnore *
</IfModule>

Make sure that you have named the Class for your controller as the controllers file name. Then try to access the page as shown in the code below.
<?php if ( ! defined('BASEPATH')) exit('No direct script access allowed');
class Pages extends CI_Controller {
function about()
{
$data['title'] = 'About us Page';
$this->load->view('about', $data); //about is in views
}
}
?>
The file name should be pages.php in this case.
To access the about page type in this link mysite.com/index.php?/controllerfolder/pages/about.
If you want clean url and remove index.php?
edit your htaccess
. Use this link to know how to edit your htaccess

Hope this is helpful. Thanks

By default, Codeigniter will call the about controller, unless a method is provided in the second uri segment, the index() method will be loaded.
If the index() method doesn't exist, it will 404.
The other way of doing it is to add a line in your application/config/routes.php file. Such as:
$route['about'] = 'main/about';
This means, a request where the url matches /about will map to main/about
Main being the controller and about being the method within that for example.
See this part of the documentation for a more detailed explaination https://www.codeigniter.com/userguide3/general/routing.html
Hope this helps
