Answer 1

You have to use 3 more steps:
create a .htaccess file on project root(on your project folder "/project" or domain root directory)
Insert following line of codes on .htaccess file.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]
Find config/congig.php file and change this line to-
*add base url in my case:
$config['base_url'] = 'http://localhost/cirest.dev/'; ( assign your project path/URL)
$config['index_page'] = 'index.php'; to $config['index_page'] = '';
ADD this HTML to your view:
<li>
<a href="<?php echo base_url('login'); ?>">
<i class="fa fa-unlock-alt"></i> Login </a>
</li>
I think it will work. :)

Answer 2

Try site_url() in place of base_url()
<a class="" href="<?php echo site_url(); ?>Login">

Answer 3

First of all you should properly define url in config/routes.php:
$route['login'] = 'login/index';
And then you can use this route in a template with site_url() function:
<li>
<a href="<?php echo site_url('login'); ?>">
<i class="fa fa-unlock-alt"></i> Login </a>
</li>

Answer 4

I changed from $route['login'] = ['login/index']; to $route['login'] = 'login/index'; in my case.

Answer 5

Create a file in the webroot and name it .htaccess then type this code in it
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?/$1 [L,QSA]
</IfModule>
And in your application/config/config.php file, find this
$config ['index_page'] = '';
