I will talk about common mistakes. (Please check godaddy for recent changes in their configuration)

In database.php make sure you put the proper host name (something like #####.secureserver.net) and other settings.

Now .htaccess

You are good to go. You see in last line I put extra “?” which is the only change that I had to make from my localhost .htaccess. And these settings has been tested with godaddy deluxe(linux) hosting.

I hope my experience will save someone’s time.

What is happen?

I also use CI on GodAddy hosting. But, it don’t works well. See: http://ellislab.com/forums/viewthread/85559/

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*) index.php?/$1

BRILLIANT ..... That worked !
After going through tons of htaccess, this is the one that did the trick for me,
Thanks a lot mate

Hosting with Dreamhost, removing the first ‘/’ and adding the ‘?’ after index.php in the last line worked for me as well (using the suggested .htaccess lines from the User Guide). Thanks for this!

Thanks! I’ve been battling with goDaddy for days, only the home page of my website would work, all the over pages would throw an error 500.

Thank u so much.
