How to remove index.php in codeigniter when changing root directory?

I've got moved the Application and System folders below the root directory as described here. http://codeigniter.com/user_guide/installation/index.html But I'm not sure how to get the urls to work properly with the new directory locations.

/root/var/
    `-- www
        |-- siteroot
        |       |-- .htaccess
        |       |-- index.php
        |       |-- style.css
        |       |-- script.js
        |-- application/
        |-- system/

currently this way http://example.com/index.php/about

this is the way I want it but currently it shows a 404 http://example.com/about

this is my current .htaccess file. It removed the index.php before I moved the folders below the root, now it will still remove the index.php but none of the controllers work without the index.php

after putting htaccess file just go to application/config/config.php and change 

$config['index_page'] = 'index.php';

to

$config['index_page'] = '';

and also in htaccess file either comment following line 

#RewriteBase /

or make it

RewriteBase /siteroot/
