CodeIgniter - How to hide index.php from the URL

Question

This is what my .htaccess looks like. The .htaccess is sitting in /www/scripts directory which is the parent of codeigniter's "system" directory and which also contains index.php. I have enabled mod_rewrite in my Apache 2.2.x. This is on Ubuntu 9.10 server.

I followed this link, but it does not work. Is there anything i need to do in apache2, any specific configuration so that this works??

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

Just toss the following code into your .htaccess file

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