No $_POST Data on GoDaddy site - El Forum - 06-29-2010

Hi all,
I've been using CI on GoDaddy for about 6 months now. I went to release a new version of my site (mostly layout changes) and now I'm not getting any $_POST data. the $_POST array is completely empty. I've reviewed this link:
http://ellislab.com/forums/viewthread/119244/
but none of their suggestions helped. I did switch my configuration to break the pages up (Header/Footer) using the MY_Controller library.
I thought I reconciled all of the configuration changes between my local environment and GoDaddy, but I could be missing something.
Any suggestions out there? The site is madriverpetfoods.com
thanks.

I can't find an error - you could try to set an "enctype" in your form-tag
and see what happens.
When activating firebug and sending your form you get a "page not found message"
even a new page pops up (without the result I think).

Thanks for the suggestions LuckyFella.
The enctype didn't work, but I hadn't even thought of Firebug. After seeing the 404 error in Firebug, I was taken back to my .htaccess file. On a whim, I added the 'index.php' back to my form action and everything started working again. So the problem must be in my .htaccess file, which I know is problematic on GoDaddy.
I will continue to investigate in case anyone needs this in the future.

Be sure to read the wiki page on this topic: http://codeigniter.com/wiki/Godaddy_Installaton_Tips/

Thanks, noctrum. I've found the problem. I used that wiki to set up my site initially.
Doing another diff of my local and production .htaccess file shows I was using "rewrite_module" instead of "mod_rewrite.c" in my IfModule directive. Not sure why that is so important, but for GoDaddy it matters.
