Hello, is mod_rewrite loaded on your server?

Is your htaccess uploaded? Does it contain anything?

Thanks

Content visible to registered users only.

in the main shared hosting server i made a folder for this directory and installed there.

htaccess does not exist in the main.

Would it be possible for me to look in the server?

Does the htaccess exist in the folder you added PHPLD?

Thanks

One came with the install, upload it to the server where you installed the directory.

Let me know,

Thanks

The root of the zip.

If you would like me to have a look at it for you let me know. Send me a PM and we'll get it nailed out.

Thanks.

One caution: Do not upload the .htaccess file to the root directory of a site you are managing with FrontPage -- you will overwrite the version placed there when the FP server extensions are installed.

If you are using FrontPage to manage the site, make sure your directory is in a subfolder if you are going to use this function.

[Ap0s7le]

Actually you can specify the base location of the affected files, so more than likely even with frontpage extensions it could work.

I've never tried it, as I don't deal with people who use FP.

That's me though :)

You have two choices:

1. locate the directory in a subfolder so the twop .htaccess files don't clash

2. APPEND the directory .htaccess lines to the original FP .htaccess files
