title: htaccess not working on website hosting
body: <p>I will make this super easy to understand.</p>
  
  <p>On my current pc(home), I have xampp installed and all my files are placed in the root folder.  In the root folder, I have an .htaccess file that looks like the following:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;IfModule mod_rewrite.c&gt;
      RewriteEngine On
      # Removes index.php from ExpressionEngine URLs
      RewriteCond $1 !\.(gif|jpe?g|png)$ [NC]
      RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
      RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
      RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /profile.php/user.php?id=$1
  &lt;/IfModule&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Now, I signed up with a host and I copied my whole website and database and everything is perfect except for the htaccess.  It doesn't redirect me to profile.php when I type the persons name after the address link</p>
  
  <p>For example: www.website.com/USERNAME</p>
  
  <p>I don't know why it's not working when it works perfectly at home.</p>
  
  <p>The host i'm using is awardspace</p>
  
  <p>On the host, they don't allow you to place your folder in www/ but rather it's like a subdomain like www/folder/yourwebsite</p>
  
  <p>I dont know if thats the problem</p>
