Removing index.php on CodeIgniter 2.2.0

I am running Apache 2.2.22 on Ubuntu 12.04.3 (Oracle VM on Windows 8.1). Using the PHP phpinfo() function I see mod_rewrite in the apache2handler section under Loaded Modules, so mod_rewrite is enabled.

I made the following changes to my CI config file (application/config/config.php),

$config['index_page'] = 'index.php'; to: $config['index_page'] = '';
$config['uri_protocol'] = 'AUTO'; to: $config['uri_protocol']   = 'PATH_INFO';

I have tried numerous versions this(.htaccess file located in the root directory of CI ):

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|images|robots\.txt)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L]

but have yet to get it to work. What else am I missing here?

This worked!

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /testsite/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]

Working on the assumption that your folder structure is something like... /var/www/html/testsite and your url is localhost/testsite, then the above rewrite rule will be looking for index.php in /var/www/html and not /var/www/html/testsite. ( /var/www/html will be the default document root. )

So in your equivalent folder of /var/www/html/testsite you can try using the following in your .htaccess file located in /var/www/html/testsite/. so you'd have /var/www/html/testsite/.htaccess with the code...

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|images|robots\.txt)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]

All I have done is removed the leading / in the rewrite rule in the last line so it's not heading back to the default document root.
