Try:

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

Or change the RewriteBase to /projects/

[quote author="wiredesignz" date="1253210934"]Server 500 errors indicate mod_rewrite is not installed.[/quote]

Not necessarily true. Disallowed .htaccess directives can trigger a 500 error. Running the pre-installed OS X Apache server, I had to specifically allow overrides for my home directory. I have this in my httpd configs:

Code:
<Directory "/Users/nhusher/Sites/">

    Options Indexes MultiViews

    AllowOverride All

    Order allow,deny

    Allow from all

</Directory>

.htaccess is just a file you put in a given folder to modify the apache config for just that folder (it is better to modify the apache config but most often you do not have access to it.)

mod_rewrite is a module that is commonly included in apache installs to alter or rewrite the url that was submitted (in your case you needed http://localhost/lotus_ci/{anything} rewritten to http://localhost/lotus_ci/index.php/{anything}.

Here's an in-depth tutorial covering mod_rewrite for apache.

Not to be too intimidating, but htaccess files are considered one of the major pieces of "black magic" in Apache. There are plenty of tutorials online for getting basic stuff done, but the masters of the htaccess are all gaunt old men clad in dark flowing robes that spend their days deep in the server catacombs. They learned their mastery the hard way: trial and error. Most of them also know how to write a sendmail.cf from scratch.
