Trying to help my friend out. On this site if you click on a category the category does not show up.The home page is fine and the error you get when clicking on a cat is.
The requested URL /Health_and_Fitness/(or what ever category you click on) was not found on this server.

So I started checking his files and found out someone deleted his .htaccess file.
So I added one with these rules.

Content visible to registered users only.

But now when you click on a category it don't show either (Blank white screen) or if it shows its missing information like the site name the links etc.

Does anyone have a idea where I should look now. Or what this is.

The site i

On my server, I don't normally use the .htaccess file, so I had to edit my httpd.conf file for the directory domain. A snippet is as follows:

# 051207 index.php added to fix redirect in mod_rewrite and .htaccess
# DirectoryIndex index.php
# AllowOverride None
# 050926 as directed by Mike to allow .htaccess
AllowOverride All
Options FollowSymlinks IncludesNoExec
AddType text/html .shtml
AddHandler server-parsed .shtml
Allow from all
</Directory>

The main thing for me was the 'AllowOverride All' If his system is configured the same as mine, try editing it and see what happens. It fixed my problem.
