  I've also set up CodeIgniter numerous times on EC2 servers without issues (with mod_rewrite)

  Can you confirm the following (sorry if they seem silly, but need to ask):
  
  1. Is .htaccess enabled
  2. Is mod_rewrite enabled
  3. What is the current setup you are testing for the .htaccess... in particular, are you using RewriteRule .* index.php/$0 [L] or RewriteRule .* index.php?/$0 [L]?
  
  The 404 error being displayed is a normal Apache 404 error and not one going through FUEL, which tells me it's probably something to do with .htaccess not working correctly. Are you able to get a normal CI installation to work using .htaccess and hiding the index.php

  Not silly I enjoy troubleshooting
  
  1. Sorry, but how would I determine this
  2. Yes
  3. I've tested them both
  -------------------------
  .htaccess file:
  Options +FollowSymLinks
  
  
  RewriteEngine On
  RewriteBase /
  
  
  Order Deny,Allow
  Deny From All
  
  
  # Allow asset folders through
  RewriteRule ^(fuel/modules/(.+)?/assets/(.+)) - [L]
  
  # Protect application and system files from being viewed
  RewriteRule ^(fuel/install/.+|fuel/crons/.+|fuel/data_backup/.+|fuel/codeigniter/.+|fuel/modules/.+|fuel/application/.+) - [F,L]
  
  
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
  
  RewriteRule .* index.php/$0 [L]
  
  # Prevents access to dot files (.git, .htaccess) - security.
  RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} -d
  RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} -f
  RewriteRule "(^|/)\." - [F]
  
  
  Options -Indexes

  phpinfo(): http://ec2-54-187-20-130.us-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com/phpinfo.php
  
  httpd.conf:
  ...
  #
  # AllowOverride controls what directives may be placed in .htaccess files.
  # It can be "All", "None", or any combination of the keywords:
  # Options FileInfo AuthConfig Limit

  #
  # AccessFileName: The name of the file to look for in each directory
  # for additional configuration directives. See also the AllowOverride
  # directive.

  AccessFileName .htaccess

  # The following lines prevent .htaccess and .htpasswd files from being

  Order allow,deny
  Deny from all
  Satisfy All

  I misread your 3rd question. I am currently testing: RewriteRule .* index.php/$0 [L]
  in my config it is: $config['index_page'] = 'index.php';
  
  Other info:
  // whether the admin backend is enabled or not
  $config['admin_enabled'] = TRUE;
  
  // options are cms, views, and auto.
  // cms pulls views and variables from the database,
  // views mode pulls views from the views folder and variables from the _variables folder,
  // and the auto option will first check the database for a page and if it doesn't exist or is
  // not published, it will then check for the corresponding view file.
  $config['fuel_mode'] = 'auto';

  If you have .htaccess enabled, you should set the index_page to '':
  $config['index_page'] = 'index.php';
  With regards to checking .htaccess, you'll need to change some things in your Apache config file:

  I had tried that previously with now luck, but I'll change it to what it needs to be and check the Apache configuration file in the morning. Thanks for the help so far. I really do appreciate it.
