 * if it helps i just tried deleting htaccess and rewrite.php and got exactly the
   same error as when they were there.
 * found this [http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/misc/FAQ.html#malfiles](http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/misc/FAQ.html#malfiles)
   but all i have in my ftp is .gnome2 folder which is empty and public_html which
   is where the contents of the unzipped wordpress files sits. i can’t see how i

 * hi thanks for checking it out.
 * I have tried to look into what you have suggested but i am not that knowledgeable
   with the depths of coding hence why i have become completely unstuck with this
   problem.
 * I have looked with my ftp program and can’t see any httpd.conf file. In my offline
   set up that file is situated outside of all the file I have connetced to wordpress.
   location is K:\My Pictures\xampp\apache\conf and my offline wordpress site is
   set up on K:\My Pictures\xampp\htdocs. so i have no idea where to find that file
   online to check its status.
 * also i have tried to see if i can work out if mod_rewirte is on but can’t. i 
   followed the instruction of this link [http://www.wallpaperama.com/forums/how-to-test-check-if-mod-rewrite-is-enabled-t40.html](http://www.wallpaperama.com/forums/how-to-test-check-if-mod-rewrite-is-enabled-t40.html)
   and got returned exactly the same problem is i do with all my link. 403 FORBIDDEN
 * if it helps this is my htaccess file
    # BEGIN WordPress <IfModule mod_rewrite.
   c> RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond%{
   REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule . /index.php [L] </IfModule> # END WordPress
 * as it says rewrite engine on i’m guess that means mod rewrite is on
 * where do i find the files i need to check?
 * thanks
 * Adam
