Here’s what I’ve got for my .htaccess file. This is the same for the remote server and my local server.
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?/$1 [L]I also completely started over; re-downloaded all the files, integrated the db again and still coming up with the same problems. Very weird.
