.htaccess and cPanel servers

[eluser]EEssam[/eluser]
Hi,

I'm using cPanel and the following .htaccess from the docs is only working when I place the CI app in a folder, it's not working when I put the app directly in public_html:

Code:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|images|robots\.txt)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L]

Please help. Thanks.
