404 Error

[midnight hacker]

can someone help me i am new and was wondering if someone could help me out

my installation went fine but when i goto my catalog site i get 404 error.

the hosting company replied with this:

 

The most likely reason your cart is non functional is because you have nondefault directives in your .htaccess files. Since we have php as a cgi, and not as an apache module, you can't specify php settings in the .htaccess files. As php does not control apache's configureation, you can not have apache directives in your php.ini. If you have any further questions, pleaser reply to this message.

 

can someone tell me what i should do to rectify this problem? or point me to the right direction?

 

thank you

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Try renaming the .htaccess file in the catalog folder to txt.htaccess and see if that does it.
