Problem migrating from local to shared hosting

Yii 1.1 Installation and Setup
1

Hi,

I’m in the process of learning yii (and PHP) and have a small application that is running OK using wampserver in my machine. I tried to move the app to a shared hosting (godaddy.com) and I’m able to get the home page OK, but any other action shows me a 404 File Not found error.

Any idea what I’m missing.

Thanks,

PD: the ‘requirements’ page passes for everything I need on both servers.

It use to be that Windows file/directory names aren’t case sensitive, in Linux they are.

The application had the urlManager set to ‘path’. I found that removing this parameter the problem seems to be solved.

I don’t understand why the user friendly URLs don’t work in the hosing but do work in my local environment.

Question is if it’s the urlManager part that doesn’t work or the .htaccess FollowSymLinks/mod_rewrite that’s not supported. In the latter case you should at least be able to use path format url’s without script hiding, that is with “index.php” in the url.
