Resolution: Codeigniter HTACCESS with GoDaddy NOT working.

I'm having problems with GoDaddy web hosting when I used Codeigniter as my framework in developing my site. All the pages I made are can't be found and it seems like that my .htaccess is NOT working and the page always echo the message "No input file specified."

As per Codeigniter documentation, by default, the index.php file will be included in your URLs:

example.com/index.php/news/article/my_article

And you can easily change the URL and do mod_rewrite using .htaccess. See below.

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|images|robots\.txt)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L]

Unfortunately, this is NOT working with GoDaddy, and to resolve this, instead having the above .htaccess, your entry should be like this.

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|images|robots\.txt)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?$1 [L]


Hope this helps you as well.

  2. You need to know what URL works for you so you can pretify it by using mod_rewrite, you also need to change the permalinks format on your wordpress admin and make sure mod_rewrite is enabled to make it work.

  3. r URLS I paid for, that led to competitors sites. Who can you trust these days???? Did this only start happening when a new CEO took over? Has this happened to anyone else? Who would you recommend to buy domain names from? godaddy email login
