CodeIgniter routes problem with controller's index function

Question

My current development is using CodeIgniter, and when I try to pass some parameters to index function of my main controller it returns me 404 error.

http://localhost/gis/1 -> 404 ERROR
http://localhost/gis/home/1 -> 404 ERROR

Actually my route.php file has a route like this:

$route['default_controller'] = "home";    

$route['home/([:num])'] = 'home/index/$1';

My .htaccess file is this (from this post to take away index.php from CI urls):

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /

    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^system.*
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?/$1 [L]

    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^application.*
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?/$1 [L]

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

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

<IfModule !mod_rewrite.c>
    # If we don't have mod_rewrite installed, all 404's
    # can be sent to index.php, and everything works as normal.
    # Submitted by: ElliotHaughin

    ErrorDocument 404 /index.php
</IfModule>

And my config.php file:

$config['base_url'] = "http://localhost/gis";

$config['index_page'] = "";

What am I doing wrong? Thanks!

What is your default controller in routes.php ?

Update:

Quoting OP:

.htaccess wasn't guilty. The problem was that my route needs to be $route['home/(:num)'] = ... I added both parenthesis and all works.

Rather than:

$route['home/([:num])'] = 'home/index/$1';

Try specifying it like this:

$route['home/:num'] = 'home/index/$1';

Also make sure that from application/config/routes.php, your default controller is set to home:

$route['default_controller'] = 'home';

Thanks for your quick answer. I tried what you said but it didn't work for me. If I try to print the parameter in my main controller index function, always print '$1'. Can you help me?

@Fran Verona: Try disabling the .htaccess file to check if there is something wrong in it.

@Fran: Glad to know it works, I think you were already using parentheses as in your question. I will update the answer though :)
