Is your site hosted in a subdirectory? You either need to edit the .htaccess line

From:
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L,QSA]

To
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /{thedirectorywhereindex.phpis/}index.php/$1 [L,QSA]

Just change the directory {} part. The other solution is to edit your hosts file and edit the Apache virtual host file.

All you need to do for Windows 7 is this

1) open c:\Windows\System32\drivers\hosts with notepad
2) add 127.0.0.1 localhost

That's it.

3) Oh, make sure you save it.

On Windows when you first open the site it will show index.php all other calls it will be missing but does not show up on a live site.
