This custom .htaccess setup allows you to use uri segments and query strings together and may fix the issue everyone seems to have running CI on PHP-CGI hosting.
The great thing is that CI allows us to use a custom defined uri protocol. (thanks Rick Ellis)
If you want to try this setup then read on.
Set your custom uri protocol in application/config.php
$config['uri_protocol'] = "APP_PATH";
//enable query strings if required.
$config['enable_query_strings'] = TRUE;
Create your .htaccess file like so
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{ENV:REDIRECT_APP_PATH} !^$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ - [E=APP_PATH:%{ENV:REDIRECT_APP_PATH}]
RewriteCond %{ENV:APP_PATH} ^$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ - [E=APP_PATH:/$1]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php [L]
You should be good to go. Good luck.
