htaccess file

[eluser]ray73864[/eluser]
got it to work eventually, had to do some mods to fckconfig.js so that the URL being pointed to be 'Connector=' was relative instead of absolute like it was, and then the following htaccess rules worked

Code:

Options +FollowSymLinks
Options -Indexes
DirectoryIndex index.php
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?/$1 [L,QSA]

Could someone explain what that is doing exactly? especially why i have to have a ? after index.php, for some reason if i take the ? out, the whole site goes insane and refuses to show anything but the main webpage (the home page as provided by my 'main' controller)
