Network Solutions .htaccess problem

[eluser]jjhii[/eluser]
Basically trying to get ride of the index.php on the site. below is the file I am using but it does not work. I use it on all the other hosting sites I work with.

I have tried removing the . and ./ from the start of the last line. I have noticed that on the site the following:
www.site.com/index.php?dir/sub --- works
www.site.com/index.php/dir/sub --- does not work
www.site.com/index.php?/dir/sub --- does not work

RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
DirectoryIndex index.php

RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|css|images|pdfs|scripts|robots\.txt)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ ./index.php?$1 [L]

Anybody else use networksolutions for hosting, I don't normally but our customer does. Network Solutions support is beyond useless and I can't figure out how to log into their forms to ask there.

Read this:

Network Solutions Flawed .htaccess

A lot of their users recommend finding a new hosting provider.

Yes I had seen that one. After some study I am coming to the conclusion the problem is not the .htaccess file directly or maybe it is another .htaccess file. I updated the works/don't below and the problem is even if I remove the .htaccess file the index.php/dir does not work and without that codeignitor will not work. Since the .htaccess just redirects to that I have a problem....

www.site.com/index.php?dir/sub — always goes to home directory
www.site.com/index.php/dir/sub — does not work
www.site.com/index.php?/dir/sub — does not work

I agree it is the worse hosting I have dealt with and I have dealt with a few and the support is not only worthless they want to charge for it.

update, got the www.site.com/index.php/dir/sub to work now, case problem... fighting too many battles at one time. Now back to the .htaccess for no index.php problem.

ok, got it to work using the normal stuff, collection of error from the posting.

Thanks for the help...
