Hi
I'm desperate for some help, please bear with me I've no experience whatsoever with Apache or PHP, but i learn fast i hope.
I've installed drupal into a subdirectory ofmy existing site. If i have the htaaccess in the root then i get a server error, if i remove it i can access the site. Problem is i can't install clean urls on my fasthost account. I found a workround that allows me to add the htaaccess file and still view my site but when i run clean urls nothing happens, it stays on the same screen. Also when i add modules, i get a white page, its fine when i go back the module is added but i wasn;t sure if this was related. The work round i have found was on this sit, i have pasted it below but I am unsure exactly which bits i have to modify and how. I'm desperate not to give up, this has taken a while to install. Can someone please give me idiot proof instrictions on how to get round this issue, for example do i have to put my site name and the drupal sub directory line everytime it has example.com? Thanks in advance
