Eliminating the index.php

[eluser]Rowan Wilson[/eluser]
Try this one:

Code:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
# Hide the application and system directories by redirecting the request to index.php
RewriteRule ^(application|system|\.svn) index.php/$1 [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [QSA,L]

The filename is how you've already written it: .htaccess and it must live in the root of your CI installation at the same level as application and system.

FYI the dot in the filename makes it a hidden file if you are looking for it in the terminal.
