Hi Kosaidpo,

Since you uncommented the mod_rewrite line, have you restarted apache?

Also, when you say you get a 404, is it the apache 404, or codeigniter 404 message (codeigniter's looks like this: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4748759/ci404.png)

You also need to add the rewrite code to .htaccess, have you done that?

.htaccess should be in the same directory as index.php

[eluser]kosaidpo[/eluser]
which directory the one whre's htdocs or the appache ?? or CI ??

[eluser]danmontgomery[/eluser]
CodeIgniter's index.php
