Anything suspicious in your logs? – Mike Anthony May 15 at 4:53
And what is your $config['uri_protocol'] set to? – Mike Anthony May 15 at 5:00
And, lastly, what error do you get. I suspect "Object Not Found"? – Mike Anthony May 15 at 5:15
@MikeAnthony i am getting "The requested URL /projectname/aboutus was not found on this server." – Suresh Kamrushi May 15 at 5:25
And the other questions? Also, what happens when you visit the projectname root? And, what happens when you visit the root of the host (localhost)? – Mike Anthony May 15 at 5:27

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]

I tried this no success – Suresh Kamrushi May 15 at 4:49
change httpd.conf, AllowOverride None -> AllowOverride All – blu May 15 at 4:58
It looks like it already is: See <Directory /var/www/> in the asker's code. – Mike Anthony May 15 at 5:13
@blu: i change "AllowOverride None" to "AllowOverride All" and restarted my apache but no success. – Suresh Kamrushi May 15 at 5:31
create a new directory, test your web server supports rewrite. – blu May 15 at 6:55

In application/config/config.php change:

$config['index_page'] = 'index.php';

to:

$config['index_page'] = '';

it is a good idea to do apache reload everytime you change an apache config file.

sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 reload

or:

sudo service apache2 reload

or:

sudo /etc/init.d/httpd reload

(or whatever is the equivalent command for your platform)

for what it is worth, here is my .htaccess

RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|static|robots\.txt|favicon\.ico|uploads|googlexxxxxxxx\.html|mobile.html)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]

Enabled mod rewrite

set your htaccess (sample)

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
  RewriteEngine On
  #RewriteBase /

  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
  RewriteRule ^ index.php [QSA,L]
</IfModule>

remove index.php in your config

$config['base_url'] = ''; 
$config['index_page'] = '';

Also allow overriding htaccess in your apache

/etc/apache2/sites-available/default

and edit the file & change to

AllowOverride All

and

Restart Apache
