Security is major issue on websites, so we take care this using htaccess. There are 2 htacces files need to be updated for front-end and admin.

• for front-end, .htaccess file is on root folder, that have below content
   

  RewriteBase /main_demo/ci_realestate/

  so we just need to change above like this

  RewriteBase /

• for admin. .htaccess file is here, root/admin/ folder, that have below content

  RewriteBase /main_demo/ci_realestate/admin/

  so we need to change above like this

  RewriteBase /admin/
