500 Internal Server Error

Hi, and welcome to the CodeIgniter forums.

I'm not an expert in web server response codes, but I believe your .htaccess file can possibly lead to an error 500. Did CodeIgniter work when you installed it, before you copied your project to it? Try temporarily removing .htaccess to see if the problem goes away. If the problem persists, try installing something very automatic, like WordPress. If WordPress also gives you 500 error, sounds like it's an issue on GoDaddy's site, so you'll need to open a ticket.

Hey, don't work without a PHP debugger. Several free IDEs have this features built in. Two are NetBeans and CodeLobster. Without a debugger, it's like you're driving with a blindfold on -- you are going to crash!
