Ok nevermind I got the .htaccess to work with my FTP and it let me rename it to .htaccess Anyways check out my site now at www.vorspann.net/Forums/archive and take a look. It will simply show you the archive.php file in text. Does anyone know whats going on here. I think possibly I may have my Apache set up wrong. All my other pages work but this one doesnt and I am just guessing but when I look at the .htaccess file I notice that it redirects you when you go to the archive page by using the $archive variable. My guess would be it is not doing this becauser perhaps I have not set up Apache to read my .htaccess file in the directory it is in? Does that sound right to anyone? I am still not sure though because my Apache httpd.conf file says this...

AccessFileName .htaccess

#
# The following lines prevent .htaccess files from being viewed by
# Web clients. Since .htaccess files often contain authorization
# information, access is disallowed for security reasons. Comment
# these lines out if you want Web visitors to see the contents of
# .htaccess files. If you change the AccessFileName directive above,
# be sure to make the corresponding changes here.
#
# Also, folks tend to use names such as .htpasswd for password
# files, so this will protect those as well.
