Ok, I tried that with bizarre results.
I renamed my htaccess.txt to .htaccess
After that, I selected Apache mod rewrite, but as soon as I clicked save I received this error.
Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.
Please contact the server administrator, and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.
More information about this error may be available in the server error log.
Additionally, a 500 Internal Server Error error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
I was able to change .htaccess back to htaccess.txt and restored the site so I could access it again, but neither my users nor I can login from the front-end.
is there something else I'm missing? Do you think my htaccess.txt file could be the wrong one? Where would I get a suitable replacement?
Maybe I should mention my host is 1and1 and I'm using Joomla 1.5.2
