Can't remove index.php in the url in ci2.0?

[eluser]chefnelone[/eluser]
Hello

In ci1.7 I use this code in .htaccess to remove index.php from the url: (but isn't working in ci2.0)

localhost/ci2/.htaccess

Code:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On

    RewriteBase /ci2/
    

    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^system.*
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?/$1 [L]

    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?/$1 [L]
</IfModule>

<IfModule !mod_rewrite.c>

    ErrorDocument 404 /index.php
    
</IfModule>

in application/config/config.php I have:

Code:

$config['index_page'] = '';

What more do I need to do?
