Ceon URI Mapping v4.x

[enzo-ita]

I've been struggling for the last couple of hours trying to solve my 404 page error after generating a URI Mapping.
I'm using hostgator and ZenCart 1.5.5a, my website is augiespanoras(dot)com I didn't have an .htcaccess file in my root directory so I created one. This is all I have in it:

## BEGIN CEON URI MAPPING REWRITE RULE

RewriteEngine On

# Don't rewrite any URIs ending with a file extension (ending with .[xxxxx])
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !\.[a-z]{2,5}$ [NC]
# Don't rewrite any URIs for some, popular specific file format extensions,
#   which are not covered by main file extension condition above
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !\.(mp3|mp4|h264)$ [NC]
# Don't rewrite any URIs for some specific file format extensions,
#   which are not covered by main file extension condition above
#   Uncomment the following line to apply this condition! (Remove the # at the start of the next line)
#RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !\.(3gp|3g2|h261|h263|mj2|mjp2|mp4v|mpg4|m1v|m2v|m4u|f4v|m4v|3dml)$ [NC]
# Don't rewrite admin directory
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/xxxxxxx [NC]
# Don't rewrite editors directory
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/editors/ [NC]
# Don't rewrite logs directory
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/logs/ [NC]
# Don't rewrite magicthumb directory
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/magicthumb/ [NC]
# Don't rewrite zc_install_x directory
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/zc_install_x/ [NC]
# Handle all other URIs using Zen Cart (its index.php)
RewriteRule .* index.php [QSA,L]

## END CEON URI MAPPING REWRITE RULE

YOU ARE AT RISK! You have declared your admin folder and /zc_install_x as existing.
Anyone could destroy your site in seconds.
Change /zc_install_x to something else and change the name of your admin folder immediately.

Well ... don't change the name of the zc_install directory, delete it immediately. It should not be on the server under any name at all.

As for changing the name of the admin folder again, yes that is a good idea, but security by obscurity is not security at all.

There should be no way in even if the admin folder name is public. Changing it just reduces the volume of hacking attempts.
