Codeigniter strange issue, Some link with trailing slash work some doesnot

I m having strange problem. I have a Codeigniter application which perfectly works fine in my local machine, but in remote server it doesnot. Following are the scenarios

  1. Some links with trailing slash works, but without trailing slash shows "The connection was reset" error in Firefox.

  2. Some links WITHOUT trailing slash works, but WITH trailing slash shows "The connection was reset" error in Firefox.

I m sure there is no error in coding because. All I think the culprit is .htaccess file. Following is my .htaccess file

RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /demo/
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|resources|robots\.txt)
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L,QSA]

Any help will be highly appreciated. Thanks!

I believe your issue is a missing '?' on this line:

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

Add this '?' directly after 'index.php'

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

Also, in my experience I would leave off the trailing slash on RewriteBase and add it to the $config['base_url'] parameter and let CI do that work for you instead:

$config['base_url'] = 'http://yourwebsite.com/demo/';
-instead of-
$config['base_url'] = 'http://yourwebsite.com/demo';

This is the .htaccess setup i've used for a while with CI and it has served me well:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
  RewriteEngine On
  RewriteBase / # TODO: add a folder name here if the application is not in web root

  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^system.*
  RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?/$1 [L]

  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^application.*
  RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?/$1 [L]

  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
  RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?/$1 [L]
</IfModule>

<IfModule !mod_rewrite.c>
  # If we don't have mod_rewrite installed, all 404's
  # can be sent to index.php, and everything works as normal.

  ErrorDocument 404 /index.php
</IfModule>
