Hrmm, don't give up just yet! I just read the FAQ and it seems, if
indeed you have the type of hosting control mentioned in this FAQ, try
to add this code to the .htaccess file.
<Directory />
AllowOverride All
</Directory>
The FAQ tells me that mod_rewrite is enabled and should work for you
but, you probably have to tell it which directory for it to work on.
Anyways, try that. Just add it to all your .htaccess files (I think
there are 3).
Let me know how it goes!
