How to redirect if rewrite_module is not available?

Question

I am working on a codeigniter project on which I don't have privilege to change configuration, so I can't enable rewrite engine.

On another case, instead apache, I am using IIS 6.0.

So, how to redirect the pages in both cases so I could make the system work without index.php on url ?

You're almost asking "How do I swim without liquid around me?". The rewrite_module is required, and you _should_ have access to it, if not get it. — Robin Castlin, Mar 04 '13 at 15:17
@husk - pity IIS7 has a url rewriting module that you can install and configure. If you can change your IIS6 install you could use http://www.isapirewrite.com/ whcih is an ISAPI filter. — James Culshaw, Mar 04 '13 at 17:20

Without the rewrite engine, you're stuck with ugly URLs. You can do something like this though:

/index.php/your/nicer/url

That should work on any server, with most software.

Yeah, that works, and I am searching for method to remove index.php – hsuk Mar 04 '13 at 15:11
You can't without using mod_rewrite or equivalent for IIS. – Brandon Mar 04 '13 at 15:12
by default your index document is triggered from document_root would that not mean you could ismply remove index.php from that URI? //your/nicer/url (note the double slashes) – Iesus Sonesson Mar 04 '13 at 15:45
@IesusSonesson No, every server I'm aware of would resolve that to a single slash. – Brandon Mar 04 '13 at 17:41
