ModRewrite not working for codeigniter site

Question

I tried a modrewrite for my codeigniter site, but when I went into the htaccess file there was already one.

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php?|combine\.php?|_images|assets|_styles|_js|favicon\.ico?|dashboard|mail)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L]

However, when I try to locally test my site in xxamp, I have to put index.php which breaks all my style links. Is there something I'm missing? When the site is live it isn't required.

EDIT: This site was developed on MAMP on osx, i'm using xampp on windows, think that could be part of the problem?

Is this a property for codeigniter or php in general? – ItsPronounced Jan 15 '11 at 01:03 — ItsPronounced, Jan 15 '11 at 01:03

In my CI project I have this data in .htaccess

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

#Removes access to the 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]

#When your application folder isn't in the system folder
#This snippet prevents user access to the application folder
#Submitted by: Fabdrol
#Rename 'application' to your applications folder name.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^application.*
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
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?/$1 [L]

This did it! Thank you! Thats great use of the commenting because I would have never guessed what all that did. — ItsPronounced, Jan 23 '11 at 06:29

Is apache looking for the .htaccess file? You might want to check your configuration.
