Enable mod_rewrite and .htaccess through httpd.conf and then put this code in your .htaccess under DOCUMENT_ROOT directory:

Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
# Turn mod_rewrite on
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d 
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-l
RewriteRule ^(.+?)/?$ /index.php?key=$1 [L,QSA]

Does your index.php reside in some sub dir rather than on DOCUMENT_ROOT. Tell me more about your directory structure. Give this line a try: RewriteRule ^(.+?)/?$ index.php?key=$1 [L,QSA]

it is what i'm using on my website, it works on local too.

Options -Indexes

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
Options +FollowSymLinks

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?key=$1 [L]

</IfModule>
