flexi auth - A user authentication library for CodeIgniter

[eluser]kashound[/eluser]
Hello, I am having the same situation as previously mentioned, but I am not having luck using the resolutions.

I have a clean install of Code Ignitor and flexi-auth. when I try to see the demo or features page from the flexi-auth home page, i get 404 error object not found. If I add the index.php to the address (http://localhost/citest/index.php/auth_lite/features) then it will work without issues.

I have tried to add the index.php to the config file, copied the .htaccess folder to the root of the code ignitor install all to no avail. I am using XAMPP Control Panel version 3.1.0.

here are what the controllers have for the base_url:

Code:

$this->load->vars('base_url', 'http://localhost/citest/');
  $this->load->vars('includes_dir', 'http://localhost/citest/includes/');
  $this->load->vars('current_url', $this->uri->uri_to_assoc(1));

Thanks in advance!!
