After removing "index.php" from URL using instructions described here,
cPanel sub-folder is requested when I call a codeIgniter controller which has same name as sub-folder.

Controller and sub-folder name is "sites". So, when I request

example.com/sites

Instead of requesting controller example.com/index.php/sites, it requests sub-folder "sites".

It can be fixed by deleting sub-folder or renaming the controller, BUT I want to know if there is any other solution to resolve this issue.

Thank You!

You can do that via htaccess Rules.

Try this rule:-

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L] // Below line will controller instead of directory RewriteRule ^sites/?$ index.php/sites [L]

OR

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/sites RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php [L,QSA]

Hope it will help you :)

Is it a good practice to remove #RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d to make it generic? To ignore sub-directories and send request index.php every time.
It's not ignoring sub directories. check this link for more detail:- stackoverflow.com/a/34875835/4198099
In that answer you said "-d (is test string a valid directory)". Doesn't that mean, if we remove this than it will ignore sub-directories? Thank you!
Okay. Now I am getting your question. Yes you are correct. If we remove it then it will ignore sub-directories.
