CodeIgniter mod_rewrite with apache 2.4

Question

I'm having trouble getting mod_rewrite to work with CodeIgniter. I'm running apache 2.4.

My web root is /Users/Jason/Development/www

This is the code I currently have in my .htaccess file located in the same directory as my main index.php file.

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
  RewriteEngine On
  RewriteBase /myapp/
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
  RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?/$1 [L]
</IfModule>

<IfModule !mod_rewrite.c>
  ErrorDocument 404 /index.php
</IfModule>

What am I doing wrong? I keep getting a 404 page saying the requested URL was not found on this server.

Check AllowOverride on Apache configure. This allows htaccess to run. To test if htaccess works properly, type something wrong in it (Ex: abcdef at the beginning of htaccess). If you got an 500 error, htaccess is working, if error is still 404, I am sure you should find AllowOverride to enable it for your DocumentRoot. — Than Ngo Hoai

Options -Indexes +FollowSymLinks

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

 # exclude any paths that are not codeigniter-app related
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/server-status
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/server-info
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/docs

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

<IfModule mod_php5.c> 
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]    
 </IfModule>    

# the following is for rewritting under FastCGI
<IfModule !mod_php5.c>    
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?/$1 [L]
</IfModule>
