my .htaccess file is not working

[eluser]Sumon[/eluser]
hi all,

i develope my site using CodeIgniter and trying to hide url(index.php). Server guys replied me : "Mod_rewrite is enabled for your account". As such i write
a .htaccess file with the following code:

Options +FollowSymLinks
DirectoryIndex index.php
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^.htaccess$ - [F]
RewriteRule ^favicon.ico - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L]

Now here is the URL i have tried to browse But not working.

www.mysite.com/home
instead of
www.mysite.com/index.php/home

[ The page display: No input file specified. ]

Is any change needed in config.php file? Please help me to resolve my problem.

1. question: Are you using PHP4 or PHP5?
2. question: Is your PHP running as a CGI or as an apache-module?

You can try these things:
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [R] instead of ... [L]
or (if you have access to your php.ini and your PHP is running as CGI) you can add this line to your php.ini:
cgi.fix_pathinfo = 0

Thanks, it's working fine. it's automatically add index.php. However, if i can hide index.php then i shall be more happy. Moreover, here is your answers:
1. question: Are you using PHP4 or PHP5?
Ans: PHP 5.2
2. question: Is your PHP running as a CGI or as an apache-module?
Ans: I am not sure. How can i be sure about it? However, i found a folder in root (through FTP) named CGI.

Sorry to say i don't have access of my php.ini.

Ok, try

Code:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /

    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?/$1 [L] <-- do not forget the ? after index.php!
</IfModule>

<IfModule !mod_rewrite.c>
    # If we don't have mod_rewrite installed, all 404's
    # can be sent to index.php, and everything works as normal.

    ErrorDocument 404 /index.php
</IfModule>

in config.php set

Code:

$config['index_page'] = "";
$config['uri_protocol']    = "AUTO";

With this htaccess index.php-hiding works for me with PHP4 and PHP5 running PHP as a CGI

nothing helping me at all
my url follows only this condition below

<IfModule !mod_rewrite.c>
# If we don't have mod_rewrite installed, all 404's
# can be sent to index.php, and everything works as normal.

ErrorDocument 404 /index.php
</IfModule>
i have changed httpd.conf
#LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so

to

LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so

My url redirects to the root page
