Can't find htaccess file

[g00gl3r]

Can't find the htaccess file to get the forum working properly.

Anybody got a copy for me?

Not sure if it's because I'm using the Mac. I can normally see them both on the mac and server but can't seem to find one in the file I downloaded from members area.

The file is included in the download pachage... Sometimes these files are hidden under MAC, see if you can change your settings to show hidden files.

Normally my FTP program shows them but not this time. And I've uploaded the whole folder to the server, and the server isn't showing it either.

Tried changing the settings for the folder on the mac to show them but can't seem to find where that option would be.

I don't use Mac, so nothing I can suggest at this point.

Can you paste the contents of yours here for me?

Definitely not on on the server....

it is in the upload directory...

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?routestring=$1 [L,QSA]

#needed because admincp is an actual directory.
RewriteRule ^(admincp/)$ index.php?routestring=$1 [L,QSA]
</IfModule>

Can you look at the file inside the archive?

[g00gl3r]

Awesome, got it running now I think. Thanks guys.

Now for some testing.

Some FTP programs need a command sometimes like -a for ws_ftp in order to show hidden files (.-files).

As OSX is based on Unix, .htaccess file is a hidden file. To see it, you need to turn on display hidden files in Finder or use a FTP software who can show directly hidden files.
