codeigniter site returns 404 error after server move

I am in the process of moving an existing codeigniter website from a MediaTemple shared server to a Dreamhost VPS server. I have set up a mirror of the new server to view the site without switching the DNS; you can see it here

I have attempted to switch the DNS, but the problems persisted.

As you can see, it returns a 404 error. If I remove the htaccess file, the home page will come up, but none of the html pages will work. I think that this has to do with the RewriteCond and RewriteRule statements in the htaccess file.

Here is the htaccess file:

AddHandler php-stable .php
php_flag allow_url_fopen on
# php_flag extension_dir=/home/86983/data/lib/php
# php_flag extension=zip.so


Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on

# RewriteCond $1!^(js|css|images|license\.txt|user_guide|admin|phpMyAdmin|uploads|ornaments_sitemap2_25_09\.xml|sitemap\.xml|robots\.txt|quickscript\.php|paypal_ipn\.php|test\.php|sitedown\.php)
# RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.ornaments.com/sitedown\.php [L]

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^ornaments\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.ornaments.com/$1 [R=301,L]

RewriteCond $1 !^(admin|backupForPhpMyAdmin|blog|change_page_name\.php|css|favicon\.ico|images|index\.php|js|license\.txt|ornaments_sitemap2_25_09\.xml|paypal_ipn\.php|phpMyAdmin|uploads|quickscript\.php|robots\.txt|sitemap\.xml|sub-domains|test\.php|testblog\.php|url_checker|user_guide|tinymy\.php)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L]

# RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^s86983\.gridserver\.com$ [NC]
# RewriteRule (.*) http://www.s86983\.gridserver.com/$1 [R=301,L]
# 
# RewriteCond $1 !^(blog|index\.php|js|css|images|license\.txt|user_guide|admin|phpMyAdmin|uploads|ornaments_sitemap2_25_09\.xml|sitemap\.xml|robots\.txt|quickscript\.php|paypal_ipn\.php|test\.php|backupForPhpMyAdmin)
# RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L]

Note: I did not build this site and am only slightly familiar with codeigniter and PHP in general. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

We solved this one by replacing the htaccess file with the one from the openCart part of the site that worked. That file looks like this:

# 1.To use URL Alias you need to be running apache with mod_rewrite enabled.

# 2. In your opencart directory rename htaccess.txt to .htaccess.

# For any support issues please visit: http://www.opencart.com

Options FollowSymlinks

# Prevent Directoy listing
Options -Indexes

# Prevent Direct Access to files
<FilesMatch "\.(tpl|ini|log)">
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
</FilesMatch>

# SEO URL Settings
RewriteEngine On
# If your opencart installation does not run on the main web folder make sure you folder it does run in ie. / becomes /shop/

RewriteBase /
RewriteRule sitemap.xml /index.php?route=feed/google_sitemap
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^([^?]*) /index.php?_route_=$1 [L,QSA]



### Additional Settings that may need to be enabled for some servers
### Uncomment the commands by removing the # sign in front of it.
### If you get an "Internal Server Error 500" after enabling any of the following settings, restore the # as this means your host doesn't allow that.

# 1. If your cart only allows you to add one item at a time, it is possible register_globals is on. This may work to disable it:
#php_flag register_globals off

# 2. If your cart has magic quotes enabled, This may work to disable it:
# php_flag magic_quotes_gpc Off

# 3. Set max upload file size. Most hosts will limit this and not allow it to be overridden but you can try
# php_value upload_max_filesize 999M

# 4. set max post size. uncomment this line if you have a lot of product options or are getting errors where forms are not saving all fields
# php_value post_max_size 999M

# 5. set max time script can take. uncomment this line if you have a lot of product options or are getting errors where forms are not saving all fields
#php_value max_execution_time 200

# 6. set max time for input to be recieved. Uncomment this line if you have a lot of product options or are getting errors where forms are not saving all fields
# php_value max_input_time 200
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.shop.ornaments.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://shop.ornaments.com/$1 [R=301,L]

I am not clear on why it worked and what might still be broken that we can't yet see, but so far it looks good.

I suggest you copy in htaccess this:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine on
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule .* index.php/$0 [PT,L]
</IfModule>

<IfModule !mod_rewrite.c>
    #LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.c
    # Without mod_rewrite, route 404's to the front controller
    ErrorDocument 404 /index.php
</IfModule>
