RE: [cobalt-users] Re: htaccess not working

[Mike At Spy <spycobalt@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Didn't work.

Maybe I'm wrong here, but I don't think this .htaccess problem I'm having is
quite that simple.  Or maybe I'm missing something and it is.  After hours
of looking over files, I can only think that this has more to do with
something than just the three .conf files - I have compared them line by
line and they are *exactly* alike!

Does anyone have any other suggestions as to what could interfere with this?

:)

Thanks!
