Default controller doesn't work on the live site?

Hi boys and girls,

I'm just diving into PHP development again, and I'm dipping into codeigniter again too. Everything is going great so far with the site I'm developing, but I hit one snag when I tried uploading everything to my hosting.

The default controller doesn't work! I get the 404 page if I try and hit my base URL. Funny thing though, I can access the default controller by name:

http://mywebsite.com/sub/ <- doesn't work!
http://mywebsite.com/sub/Home <- works! (default controller)
http://mywebsite.com/sub/SomeOtherController <- works!

Weird huh? The error message in the logs says this:

ERROR - 2010-01-16 17:56:31 --&gt; 404 Page Not Found --&gt; home

Here is what I've done so far with my configuration:

Set the base URL to my correct base URL (I am using a sub folder, and may change it to a subdomain eventually)
Set the index_page to ""
URI protocol is AUTO
default controller in the routes.php file is the name of my controller
Set my .htaccess as folows:

Code:

RewriteEngine on

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]

Any ideas??? Thanks in advance!
