way to remove "/home" just from my home page in codeigniter - codeigniter

Question

I am new to Codeigniter.
I want my homepage to be set as "example.com" rather as "example.com/home" currently.
My routes.php is like this:
$route['default_controller'] = "home";
Everything is working fine, just need to know if there is a way to remove "/home" just from my home page. Everywhere else is fine.
.htaccess
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]

Answer 1

In your .htaccess file use this rule:
RewriteRule ^(home(/index)?|index(\.php)?)/?$ / [L,R=301]
RewriteRule ^(.*)/index/?$ $1 [L,R=301]
In your case, maybe this could be solution. Try this way:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^(home(/index)?|index(\.php)?)/?$ / [L,R=301]
RewriteRule ^(.*)/index/?$ $1 [L,R=301]
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.(.*)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%1/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|resources|robots\.txt)
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L,QSA]

Just write in your .htaccess :
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L,QSA]
and
$route['default_controller'] = "home";
in your routes.php
and check
$config['base_url']='http://exemple.com/';
$config['index_page'] = '';
$config['uri_protocol'] = 'REQUEST_URI';
then example.com will show example.com/home controller but wont display the '/home' uri segment. It works fine for me
