Problems with .htaccess vs streamline.net/fasthosts

[rockmiranda]

Same problem here.
Streamline technical support replied with:

We only support mod_rewrite on .htaccess so any other codes will return an error. We would suggest that you either remove or comment out unsupported codes......

Would it be safe to do that?

If, as the Zen tutorial states:

The logic in the /includes/.htaccess and /admin/includes/.htaccess files basically just say for all *.php files, don't allow them to be accessed via a browser directly........

Would it be enough to change permission on those folders (protected by htaccess) with a 706 permission on the folder (no public execute)?

Thanks in advance.

That's something you'll have to explore with your choice of hosts if you choose to stay with them.
