This is related to the .htaccess file in the root of your hosting directory. My .htaccess file looks like this:

# $Id: htaccess.dist,v 1.1.1.1 2005/08/16 08:31:30 sstolyarov Exp $

#

# This is used with Apache WebServers

#

# For this to work, you must include the parameter 'Options' to

# the AllowOverride configuration

#

# Example:

#

# <Directory "/usr/local/apache/htdocs">

# AllowOverride Options

# </Directory>

#

# 'All' with also work. (This configuration is in the

# apache/conf/httpd.conf file)

 

# The following makes adjustments to the SSL protocol for Internet

# Explorer browsers

 

<IfModule mod_setenvif.c>

<IfDefine SSL>

SetEnvIf User-Agent ".*MSIE.*" \

nokeepalive ssl-unclean-shutdown \

downgrade-1.0 force-response-1.0

</IfDefine>

</IfModule>

 

# Fix certain PHP values

# (commented out by default to prevent errors occuring on certain

# servers)

 

#<IfModule mod_php4.c>

php_value session.use_trans_sid 0

php_value register_globals 1

#</IfModule>

 

If you have access to your hosting server - you can creat a .htaccess file in your catalog directory to recover this...

I had the same problem too and I did both the fix mentioned above (but it didn't work still though) and then someone advised to load this contribution and then it worked...

Good luck!

Yes, you FTp it, but I think you need to do it file by file otherwise you'll overwrite the folders is contains!!!

Just go to each folder and ftp the files onto the same folder!

Good luck
