My .htaccess works, but not with CI

[eluser]dejavu[/eluser]
This is a strange one. Using index.php in the URL works, e.g http://dev.seeyou.com/index.php/staff (this is not the actual site)

My .htaccess works perfectly on an XAMPP install:

Code:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|test\.php)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L]
#RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /test.php/$1 [L]

To test if .htaccess was working, I created test.php. In test.php, I'm simply var_dump-ing $_SERVER,

Code:

<pre>&lt;?php
var_dump($_SERVER);

and it works fine - see below.

But if I comment out test.php and uncomment index.php, it keeps taking me to the "Welcome to CodeIgniter" page. Any idea why this would be working on one server and not another?

Thanks!
