linux apache .htaccess codeigniter mod-rewrite

You need to also specify the locations that can use it. For example, in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf you should see something like:

<Directory "/var/www/html">      ...lots of text...</Directory>

Make sure is has:

<Directory "/var/www/html">    AllowOverride All</Directory>

It's possible that your centos server isn't setup to handle PATH INFO. Try replacing the index.php/$1 in your rule's target to index.php?/$1.

Then you need to modify your CI config to enable query strings: http://ellislab.com/codeigniter/user-guide/general/urls.html

In you application/config.php file set $config['enable_query_strings'] to TRUE.
