I can't install my board because of .htaccess ! I've tried installing it using my shell access and FTP, but neither will upload .htaccess, anyway I can fix this?  :'(

You don't need 2 of these topics. I will delete the other one. With every step you come to in the install ftp in and delete the htaccess file then REFRESH the page don't go back. Do this for every step of the install and it should be fine.

Yeah, sorry for the double topic. I didn't realise that there was this forum after I posted it in the other one. Thanks!

No, I am actually on 8888MB host. If you need to explain more, e-mail me because I am going to bed.

None of the .htaccess files are essential, although it's good to have them if you can. Could you rename it to htaccess, upload it, and then rename it back to .htaccess?
"Never imagine yourself not to be otherwise than what it might appear to others that what you were or might have been was not otherwise than what you had been would have appeared to them to be otherwise."

I've tried the very same, it was just unsuccessful. Although if they're not essential, then that's fine. Thanks for the information, everyone.

Edit; If I don't have .htaccess will it affect security issues?
