htaccess file and Register.com

TXPers:

I am working on a new site and I needed to keep the site at their current host: register.com

When I attempted to load TXP I got server error message. I contacted Register.com and had them look into the issue.

What they wound up doing is they hardcoded the RewriteRule ^(.*) instead of the index.php … it now has the complete path http://xxxxxxxxxxx/index.php .

The above change enabled me to load TXP and the backend seems to work fine.

My problem is that when I attempt to go to any other section it takes me back to the default page. I am sure it has something to do with the htaccess file and this line, but I can not seem to solve it.

FYI, I can access html pages (old ones) that were on the server.

I attempted to revert the htaccess file back to the original way, but then I get server error messages.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

zero: thanks for the reply.

Got the problem figured out, I just changed the line to:

RewriteRule ^(.*) /index.php

Seems to work now.
