CodeIgniter Godaddy and You

Recently I was setting up a CodeIgniter installation for a new project on my GoDaddy shared hosting account. I ran into a slight problem: I was getting the CodeIgniter 404 error doc while trying to just get to the default home/index page! Here’s how I fixed it:

In System > Application > Config > config.php
Change:

$config['index_page'] = "index.php";

to this:

$config['index_page'] = "index.php?";


and further down in that same file:
change:

$config['uri_protocol'] = "AUTO";

to:

$config['uri_protocol'] = "REQUEST_URI";
