.htaccess and Admin Area Problem

[Sanguinarius]

I would cancel my hosting account IMMEDIATELY, and move the installation to a crowd that knows eCommerce and zencart in particular.

The minute a host indicates that they have little idea about how important platforms and systems work should be a clear signal to go find one that knows what they are doing.

I canceled my old host immediately and moverd to my current one BECAUSE they DID support Zen Cart. I've paid for a year: hosting, dedicated IP and SSL certificate and I can't afford to move at this point. I'm on a fixed income but hoping to eventualy break out of the cycle by becoming a webepreneur. :) Anyway, I like them. I think I just got a hold of one that was a dummy.
