mod_rewrite not working

[eluser]bertcarremans[/eluser]
Hi,

I put my website in a staging folder on the production server to see if everything works. I have the following code in the .htaccess file:

Code:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /staging/index.php?/$1 [L]

However, when surfing to www.example.com/staging I get an Internal Server Error.

Does anyone know what I am doing wrong here?

Thanks!
