Codeigniter: from localhost to webserver

Helllo everybody. I am desperatly trying to get codeigniter run on a webserver. The apache mod_rewrite is enabled, and I tried almost everything related i found on the internet, but nothing worked.

The directory on the webserver is

The cgi-bin folder have been already there. Posts that i have read said, the cgi-bin folder is irrelevant since it is hardly used these days. But here is the first question: Holds this for me, too? Which .htaccess File should i use? Why is an .htaccess file put there?

None of them seems to work: I tried several settings and I ended up with the following version for both .htaccess files:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /test94252.test-account.com
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /http://ift.tt/2lGzob9 [L]
</IfModule>

My goal is simply that if i call the domain

http://website.com/ that /website/application/views/index.php is called.

I am looking forward hearing from you.
