htaccess install error / question

I have uploaded everything (in binary) to the correct directories. All of the files are uploaded okay, but when I upload the .htaccess file, I get the big long hairy error msg.

I checked the sticky for troubleshooting, and have gone back through and ensured that I don't have duplicates of anything.

What next ?

thanks

What is the error message?

well, now it's not there. i guess it's like when you take your car to the mechanic and all of the sudden it works.

you guys are fast !

thanks Keith !
