URL without 'index.php' on GoDaddy Hosting. SOS Help me to avoid switching to CakePHP

[eluser]Stephane02[/eluser]
Hi,

First of all, I know that you will ask me to change hosting service but my customers are not willing to take another host. I'm considering to switch to CakePHP which seems not having this issue at all but I love CI so much that I'm making my last attempt to fix this, maybe I can find someone, somewhere in the world who succeeded to run CI on Godaddy without the index.php in the url.

All I have been able to do til now is just to remove the '?' in the urls, so they look like:

http://www.website.com/CI/index.php/controller/method

I am using the following settings:

$config['index_page'] = "index.php";
$config['uri_protocol'] = "AUTO";

Can you help me to have my urls looking like:

http://www.website.com/CI/index.php/controller/method

Thx for your help

Stephane

try searching?

It works only like this:
http://www.website.com/CI/index.php?/controller/method/

and when I go to http://www.website.com/CI/controller/method/

I get a 404 page found.

And my config is:

$config['index_page'] = "index.php?";
$config['uri_protocol'] = "QUERY_STRING";

HTACCESS contains:

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

htaccess file was directly made on Linux hosting not windows

Do you get the Codeigniter 404 or an apache 404? Is your htaccess in the CI directory? Because it looks like it's looking for index.php in /, not in /CI

Do your customers know that the extent of your knowledge merely approaches resolving file system paths?

[eluser]Stephane02[/eluser]
Yes, I am using the folder CI

[eluser]Stephane02[/eluser]
Also, I'm getting apache 404 not CI 404 error

[eluser]Stephane02[/eluser]
The .htaccess file is in the CI folder where my files are located.

[eluser]Stephane02[/eluser]
I have tried the following:

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

and now I get "No input file specified." when I go to http://www.website.com/CI/controller/method/

[eluser]Stephane02[/eluser]
And when I go to http://www.website.com/CI/index.php/controller/method/ I get CodeIgniter welcome page
It works only when I go to http://www.website.com/CI/index.php?/controller/method/
