Original description

While using GoDaddy to host YOURLS, I received a 404 error for all short URLs.

Changed this line of htaccess:
RewriteRule ^([0-9A-Za-z]+)/?$ yourls-go.php?id=$1 [L]

to:
RewriteRule ^([0-9A-Za-z]+)/?$ /yourls-go.php?id=$1 [L]

And short URLs work. My thanks to Max Leadford on the WarriorForums.
Submitted here for posterity.
