abaveeMike Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 Spark,In your hostgator cpanel click on "file manager" than find the htaccess.txt file and rename it to .htaccessYou should always backup your work but if anything goes wrong all you have to do is rename the file againabaveeMike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prestabase Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 Yes, they do allow search engine friendly URL's. Doing what abaveeMike said should do the trick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
