[quote author="Colin Williams" date="1262604004"]Just put some random code in your .htaccess file and if it generates a 500 error, then you know your .htaccess file is loading.[/quote]

I used following in .htccess file

Code:

DirectoryIndex index.php
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|images|css|js|robots\.txt|favicon\.ico)
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ ./index.php/$1 [L,QSA]

<?php echo "Hi" ?>

I loaded following url

Code:

http://localhost/projects/code-igniter

I got only 404 error no other error

Try this one, it's working everywhere : Localhost below code working fine but when we host the website its not working. i am also facing same problem in my websites if you try to use below code.

Code:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|images|css|robots\.txt)
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-l
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]
