Hi ! Welcome to the forum.

What version of php are you running? If you leave a php flag i.e.

php_flag session.use_trans_sid off

even if it is commented out, it can jack things up.

Make certain too that your host hasn't disabled your .htaccess file or renamed it.

If your installation is in a subdirectory (like domain/articles) you may need to add a line of code to your .htaccess file, like RewriteBase /directoryname

And make double triple sure your paths in the setup.php file are accurate. Make certain there is no trailing slash at the end of the url or path

Be sure to use www in your url in setup.php

Every little once in a while you run across a server that doesn't like the Frontpage directives and you can remove those and it will help.

And one last thing, I would add, place this code in your .htaccess file above ReWriteEngine On
<Files .htaccess>
order allow,deny
deny from all
</Files>

<Files ~ "\.tpl$">
Order allow,deny
Deny from all
Satisfy All
</Files>

Just one more thought, LOL

IF your server doesn't have register_globals on in it's configuration (and many don't for security reasons) you may have to either turn it on in your own php.ini file or in .htaccess (if you aren't running php5) like so...

php_flag magic_quotes_gpc on
php_flag register_globals on

Thank you so much for your help!

You're so welcome.

.htaccess files (or "distributed configuration files") provide a way to make configuration changes on a per-directory basis. A file, containing one or more configuration directives, is placed in a particular document directory, and the directives apply to that directory, and all subdirectories thereof.

Note: If you want to call your .htaccess file something else, you can change the name of the file using the AccessFileName directive. For example, if you would rather call the file .config then you can put the following in your server configuration file:
