Just curious. I have never worked with the .htaccess file. Does it go in the root of the word press files? (i.e. for me www\blog\.htaccess or at www\.htaccess)
I have tried both locations but to no avail. I am still getting the error. I have a ticket in to my provider to confirm the PHP version, but I know they use 5.x.
Should I open a new thread?
