title: URL rewrite gives me 404 page not found
body: <p>my .htaccess works fine and i can see the url change from localhost/codeigniter/index.php/login to localhost/codeigniter/login. 
  the only problem is that i get 404 page not found :(</p>
  
  <p>here is my .htaccess code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;IfModule mod_rewrite.c&gt;
  RewriteEngine On
  RewriteBase /application/
  
  #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]
  &lt;/IfModule&gt;
  </code></pre>
