 * Try this in .htaccess file
 *     ```
       <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
       RewriteEngine On
       RewriteBase /
       RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
       RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
       </IfModule>
       ```

 * IIS (common on Windows servers) does not support mod_rewrite. you might have 
   to contact your web hosting company to resolve it. You should have bought the
   Linux hosting.

 * ahhhhh… yeah, i did but it’s almost been a month now they haven’t solved it. 
   so if I get to transfer to a linux server this would be fixed right?
