I get a 500 Internal Server error. Which is usually an indication of a problem in the .htaccess rewrite rules.

The page load now, but I see plenty of issues.

For starters, I see a lot of PHP short tags in your output, indicating that the server doesn't support short tags. You can enable short tag rewriting in the CI config (check the user guide), so CI will convert them for you.

Your old server probably had short tags enabled and you new one doesn't as it doesn't interpret <?=$variable?> as PHP.

If your CodeIgniter version is up to date (at least 1.7.0 if I remember correctly) you can switch on 'rewrite_short_tags' at the bottom of you main config.php file. Or if your CI version is up to date but you didn't update your config.php just add:
Code:
$config['rewrite_short_tags'] = TRUE;

CI will translate "<?=$variable?>" to "<?php echo $variable; ?>" for you after that.

The funny thing here is that in my localhost that is running with appserv works perfect all the short tags.
