removing "index.php" from CodeIgniter multiple sub-directories down

Question

I know this has been asked many times before, but the previous solutions/answers aren't working.

I have viewed these:

I have used these solutions successfully in the past, but this install is giving me problems. I am thinking this might be more than an .htaccess issue.

Description

My folder setup is as follows: /home/~username~/public_html/~company~/index.php. My $config['index_page'] is set to "" and my server has mod_rewrite enabled. I am using CI version, 2.1.3

The .htaccess file is located in the same folder as the application folder.

Problem

I can't seem to remove the index.php from my URL without the application breaking. I have tried many, many .htaccess setups, including the one provided on the CI website.

I am at a loss. If it's not my .htaccess file, what could it be? If it is my .htaccess file, what am I doing wrong? My latest attempts are these:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php) [NC]    
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /home/username/company/index.php/$1 [L] //absolute path
and
""
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ company/index.php/$1 [L]

Full apache error:

[Thu Jan 24 18:22:13 2013] [error] [client ip ] 
File does not exist: /home/username/public_html/company/home

1. You say you're "90% sure". Can you use apache_get_modules() or something to be 100% sure? 2. Your RewriteRule is missing public_html, is that intentional? — ithcy

1. I ran that function and it is indeed installed. 2. I tried with public_html and without, no difference. — Phil

Can you post the exact error message you get when you remove index.php from the URL? (It could be in either the apache error log OR the CI application log.) — ithcy

I don't have access to the apache log and the CI application/log only has an empty index.html file. — Phil

It's probably to do with your host's apache setup, but it's going to be really difficult to debug without seeing the errors. — ithcy

Set the variable empty as below.

$config['index_page'] = '';

try to replace following variable with these parameters ('AUTO', 'PATH_INFO', 'QUERY_STRING', 'REQUEST_URI', and 'ORIG_PATH_INFO') one by one

$config['uri_protocol'] = 'AUTO';
