CodeIgniter Access controller without index.php in url

Question

I want to remove index.php from url while accessing controller.
This is the current working url : http://localhost/jplugins/index.php/home/index/
But it gives error(404 Page Not Found) when i access using url : http://localhost/jplugins/home/index/

Here are the things i tried while searching over stackoverflow :
1. set $config['index_page'] = ""; in config/config.php
2. place .htaccess , I have tried every htaccess file i found in threads.. none work
3. enable rewrite module in xampp
4. set $config['base_url'] = 'http://localhost/jplugins/'; didnt work either
5. Reinstall Xampp. No change
6. change $config['uri_protocol'] = 'AUTO'; . I have tried every method listed in comment but it only gives home/index output no matter what the query is, like http://localhost/jplugins/asdwhadsadasdasdasdadas/asdasda//asdad --> will give same output as http://localhost/jplugins/index.php/home/index/.
Lastly i sent my whole code to someone who was also using xampp. It worked there perfectly. Using same xampp version 3.2.1( May 7th 2013).
I'm using windows 7 32bit.
What could be the problem here?

Have you setup the proper allow / deny directives to use .htaccess on your apache virtual host? — JohnP, Jan 03 '15 at 15:11
do you need to set that? the other person tried my code on stock xampp settings. — Hassan Nawaz, Jan 03 '15 at 15:13
Depends, maybe try comparing the vhost files for both configurations to see if there are any differences so you can eliminate that as the culprit. — JohnP, Jan 03 '15 at 15:18
Does the solution in this question work for you? - http://stackoverflow.com/questions/15350137/codeigniter-htaccess-removing-index-php-from-url?rq=1 — JohnP, Jan 03 '15 at 15:19
after adding line RewriteBase /jsplugins . output is still the same. redirected to xampp page with the htaccess from the answer below — Hassan Nawaz, Jan 03 '15 at 15:25
It seems you have another .htaccess file (parent) which redirects you `localhost/xampp/splash.php` when a file not found. — Shaiful Islam, Jan 03 '15 at 17:01

Create a .htaccess file in your jplugins directory and add the following code:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|images|css|js|robots\.txt)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L]

with your htaccess. when i open http://localhost/jplugins/home it redirects to http://localhost/xampp/splash.php – Hassan Nawaz Jan 03 '15 at 15:14
Very weird... And if you run your code with another program, like [USB Webserver](http://www.usbwebserver.net/en/)? The problem can be you're not running the code in the root. – Gilles Bossuyt Jan 03 '15 at 15:17
And nothing else is in your `.htaccess`? – Gilles Bossuyt Jan 03 '15 at 15:24
In CodeIgniter, have you set a default controller? – Gilles Bossuyt Jan 03 '15 at 15:27
$route['default_controller'] = 'home'; and $route['assets/(:any)'] = 'assets/$1'; in routes.php located in config – Hassan Nawaz Jan 03 '15 at 15:28
Than I must apologize, I can't help you further then this. – Gilles Bossuyt Jan 03 '15 at 15:31
i dont get it. all the data when transfered to another pc (win 8 64 bit) works perfectly with same xampp and same xampp settings. What could be the problem? only difference is that im using win7 32bit. Could this be a problem? – Hassan Nawaz Jan 03 '15 at 15:35
Maybe a browser problem -> reset history and cache? – Gilles Bossuyt Jan 03 '15 at 15:56
nope.. tried on IE and also on that win 8 browser through lan. same output. Anyways Thanks for help. – Hassan Nawaz Jan 03 '15 at 16:03
