I am using snow leopard and I have my local environment and I am trying to get rid of the index.php in the url...here is what i have
DirectoryIndex index.php
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|images|css|js|robots\.txt|favicon\.ico)
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ ./index.php/$1 [L,QSA]
My config file has this
$config['index_page'] = "";
But when i visit the page without index.php it doesnt work
this works
http://localhost/ci_example/index.php/site
this doesnt
http://localhost/ci_example/site
I tried to follow this
maybe i need to do something with my local conf file...but i really dont know what and i have no idea how to restart apache command line...any ideas
What do you mean when you say "it doesn't work"? Do you get an error? A white screen? A 500 error?
Did you make sure your httpd.conf file has the AllowOverride
setting set to All
? If not, it may not be using your .htaccess file, meaning the rewrite rules won't be used.
Try this .htaccess code & change the base path , it will work for all godaddy and other hostnigs.

the location of the root of your site
if writing for subdirectories, you would enter /subdirectory
RewriteBase /winscore
Removes access to CodeIgniter system folder by users.
Additionally this will allow you to create a System.php controller,
previously this would not have been possible.
'system' can be replaced if you have renamed your system folder.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^system.*
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?/$1 [L]
Checks to see if the user is attempting to access a valid file,
such as an image or css document, if this isn't true it sends the
request to index.php
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
This last condition enables access to the images and css
folders, and the robots.txt file
RewriteCond $1 !^(index.php|images|robots.txt|css)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?/$1 [L]
Try to add RewriteBase in the .htaccess file
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /ci_example
Here is something that works for me on OS X.
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L]
</IfModule>
<IfModule !mod_rewrite.c>
ErrorDocument 404 /index.php
</IfModule>
The above should work for you without any modification. If you're hosting in a folder lets say like http://myserver.com/my_app/ then change /index.php to /my_app/index.php in both places.
Be sure to go into config.php and change url_protocol to PATH_INFO.
Copy this into your .htaccess
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /CI_FOLDER/
#CI_FOLDER is the Location of your CI files.

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