Setup Code Igniter on a subdomain

Setting up CodeIgniter application on a sub domain can be a huge challenge. It seems to work fine on the view pages, but when we try to submit a form, or link pages, it shows a 505 error page. Our application just becomes useless when we are not able to submit a single form.

After much searching on Google, I finally found the best ideal solution to it. I am just making a copy of the answers given in the CI forum, as I think this will help solve a lot of problems.

Make the following changes in your /system/application/config/config.php file.

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

// enable query strings if you are using
// GET requests at any point of your application.
$config['enable_query_strings'] = TRUE;
