I take that back. It is not silly if it works using the ? Its the first time I ever came across the need to do that.

It seems that with having to have that setting set in that fashion, it is not finding your home page without specifying it. It does work when you do, like this:

index.php?/home

Which is how all other pages on the site are defined within the url.

OK I can get to the home page that way.
Thank you GoDaddy for making things difficult. Should I contact GoDaddy and explain the dilemma to them? Maybe they have a generic fix for this.

I had a feeling you were on GoDaddy and I will spare everyone from my rant about them.

It certainly wouldn't hurt to contact their support, as they do many, many things in a non-standard, non-traditional way. Perhaps, they have a way for you to either have them turn on the feature or a method as Hostgator has to include your own php.ini file to do it yourself.

I can add my own php.ini file and there presently is one in the root folder. In fact I have two, one for php5 and another for php4.
Here is the one for php5 (I have 5.01 set to use php5)

[Zend]
zend_extension=/home/content/r/e/d/myaccount/html/ioncube/ioncube_loader_lin_5.2.so

And the php4 version

register_globals = off
allow_url_fopen = off
expose_php = Off
max_input_time = 60
variables_order = "EGPCS"
extension_dir = ./
upload_tmp_dir = /tmp
precision = 12
SMTP = relay-hosting.secureserver.net
url_rewriter.tags = "a=href,area=href,frame=src,input=src,form=,fieldset="
[Zend]
zend_extension=/home/content/r/e/d/myaccount/html/ioncube/ioncube_loader_lin_4.4.so zend_extension=/usr/local/zo/ZendExtensionManager.so
zend_extension=/usr/local/zo/4_3/ZendOptimizer.so

Before you even start to mess with the php.ini file, I would like to know if you have actually followed the troubleshooting steps as posted in the 68 Classifieds v5 documentation.

Specifically, did you actually try and test each of the different settings available for the URI Protocol?

PHP Code:

/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| URI PROTOCOL
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| This item determines which server global should be used to retrieve the
| URI string.  The default setting of "AUTO" works for most servers.
| If your links do not seem to work, try one of the other delicious flavors:
|
| 'AUTO'            Default - auto detects
| 'PATH_INFO'        Uses the PATH_INFO
| 'QUERY_STRING'    Uses the QUERY_STRING
| 'REQUEST_URI'        Uses the REQUEST_URI
| 'ORIG_PATH_INFO'    Uses the ORIG_PATH_INFO
|
*/
$config['uri_protocol']    = "AUTO"; 


Did you actually contact the GoDaddy support and ask specifically regarding this issue as it would seem very odd (yes, even for GoDaddy) that they would not support this or upon request make a setting change to support this. This is commonly used in most open source and commercial php scripts.

I had tried every protocol when I first had problems but forgot I had, sorry, I am presently experiencing a good sinus infection and the brain is a bit foggy. But I had tried them with out adding the ? to this string

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

. I just ran through the entire possibility list again, first with out the ? then with it. The site now works with

$config['uri_protocol']	= "QUERY_STRING";

and

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

Just goes to show that going through proper troubleshooting steps in order is always best. Glad you got it working!

Mike-N-Tosh thank you for pointing my foggy brain in the right direction. Now I am trying to import the 4.2.1 database and it keeps telling me it can't connect to the database. I probably should not be trying to do this today. One thing I have always found useful with instructions is examples of what goes in what box in the correct format. I am obviously entering something incorrectly even though I know the information I am entering is the right info.

Well it seems a workaround to do the import is to import the 4.2.1 database into the 5.0.1 database via phpmyadmin then use the import wizard in 5.0.1. That worked I think. Now to sort out all of the listings images into the correct new directories.
