Remove index.php from URL Codeigniter 1.7.2

Question

I have moved my codeigniter project and all the related databases from old server (Centos 5.11) to new server (Centos 6.7). In the old server, the task of removing the index.php from URL was already handled with the help of the .htacess files and other changes. I have moved the entire project on the new server without making any changes. When I visit the main page of the project ie the login page it works fine and gets displayed without any issue. But the moment I login, I get a 404 error page. But when I add index.php fragment at the required place then it works! Did moving the project to latest server version cause a problem?
