GoDaddy hosting 404 issue

I had the same problem with my GoDaddy hosting account. After looking briefly at that article and doing a little experimentation, I came up with the following solution:

Code:

$config['uri_protocol']    = "AUTO";

I tested this line with each of the 4 other options (PATH_INFO, QUERY_STRING, REQUEST_URI, ORIG_PATH_INFO). The latter three options work and PATH_INFO does not.


This seems to conform with what the User Guide states for correcting this problem (see User Guide Troubleshooting Page):

it might be that your server does not support the PATH_INFO variable

Apparently, CI uses PATH_INFO as the default when it's set to "AUTO" - I guess AUTO doesn't work on GoDaddy solutions? (Or does it even work at all?)
