Answer 1

Try setting
RewriteBase /apps/
in your .htaccess file
In general I use this htaccess, and it never let me down:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
#Removes access to the system folder by users.
#Additionally this will allow you to create a System.php controller,
#previously this would not have been possible.
#'system' can be replaced if you have renamed your system folder.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^system.*
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?/$1 [L]
#When your application folder isn't in the system folder
#This snippet prevents user access to the application folder

#Rename 'application' to your applications folder name.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^application.*
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?/$1 [L]
#Checks to see if the user is attempting to access a valid file,
#such as an image or css document, if this isn't true it sends the
#request to index.php
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ 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.

ErrorDocument 404 /index.php

Can't use comments yet, so am using the answer box then. You might want to take a look at this question, which got solved and seems like it's almost exactly the same as your issue: CodeIgniter htaccess and URL rewrite issues
edit: If you're using nginx or another webserver, please bear in mind that .htaccess files are not supported on these servers. I too sometimes get 'file input not specified' errors in nginx with some applications. Mostly it is, because those servers don't support .htaccess files. So, please be sure you're using Apache.
