code igniter on knownhost?

[eluser]Unknown[/eluser]
I just bought my first VPS and installed code igniter on Knownhost. I had been working on my site in a MAMP instance and uploaded the entire thing to my public_html folder. Currently I'm getting the issue listed in the installation troubleshooting guide here: http://ellislab.com/codeigniter/user-gui...oting.html where all my URLs go to the default index. I'm able to change the welcome_message.php stuff to make it display what I want in general, but as the troubleshoot doc says all my URLs go to the index default. I tried all the solutions listed in the troubleshoot and have contacted my VPS support, but no dice as of yet. Has anyone run into this problem before? Are there any other solutions I should try?

Cheers,
