Shared Server Install Issues

I am having problems even getting the CodeIgniter default page to show on my GoDaddy shared-hosting website.

I am using a "live" site to develop and learn, so most of my folders are publicly accessible (I think). I uploaded the main 'CI-1.7.2' folder to the server and changed the name to 'CodeIgniter'. I changed my base URL in the system/application/config/config.php file to "http://myownsite.com/" (I'm just using 'myownsite' as an alias for this posting). I uploaded the change to the server, and went to http://www.myownsite.com/CodeIgniter/, but I received a '404 Page Not Found' error. I went to http://www.myownsite.com/CodeIgniter/index.php, but I got another 404 Error. I have also tried changing the base URL in the config.php file to "http://myownsite.com/CogeIgniter/", but I am still receiving the 404 Errors.

I reinstalled CodeIgniter, since I saw that listed as a possible solution from a couple of google searches. But that hasn't helped either...

Right now, I'm just trying to get the default page to show up on my site. When I go to http://www.myownsite.com/CodeIgniter/license.txt, the licensing agreement shows up, so it looks like the CodeIgniter folder successfully uploaded. But the licensing agreement is the only thing I've been able to see on the web.

I've seen other posts in here where the User Guide and Install instructions are linked to. I've tried using those, and it's just not clicking for me. I'm sure I'm doing something wrong here. If anyone can help, I will greatly appreciate it.

Thanks!

**Also, I'm not sure if this is the right forum for this post. I didn't see a newbie forum (other than "Introduce Yourself"), so this seemed to be the logical place to post. If there is a better place, let me know, and I can post this elsewhere. Thanks again.

Also, for anyone using this link, http://codeigniter.com/wiki/Godaddy_Installaton_Tips/

I actually just made this one change to get my default screen showing:

In config.php:
$config['uri_protocol'] = "QUERY_STRING";

(originally this is set to $config['uri_protocol'] = "AUTO"Wink

But I'm sure the other tips will be helpful as I get further along.
Thanks again for the link!
