Hello everyone,
My company's site is hosted in Siteground (which has excellent support for Drupal). But the thing is, no matter how hard I try, I just can't get the clean URL feature working. I did everything there is to do, I made sure that the .htaccess file contained the following code:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?q=$1 [L,QSA]
I enabled the Path module, and ran the clean URL test. But everytime I run the test, or when I browse to a certain page in the site with a "clean url" (example: http://75.125.59.2/~icatchit/Home ) it always shows a 403 Forbidden error page. However browsing that similar page with the clean url turned off: http://75.125.59.2/~icatchit/?q=Home works fine.
Siteground also assured me that they fully support the mod_rewrite module, so I'm completely baffled as to why the clean url feature doesn't work. If anyone has any advice or suggestions, I greatly appreciate it. Thanks.
