Hi,
You should make sure the paths to the index.php file etc. all match up according to the folder you put the .htaccess file in.
Please re-read the configuration instructions and make sure you've put the .htaccess file in the correct folder and that you are using the appropriate example rule for wherever you've placed the .htaccess file.
You should be reading the section
Example rule for stores installed in a folder other than the root of the site, with the admin named “admin”.
It gives an example rule for when you place the .htaccess in the "store" folder (rename "shop" to "store" in the rule).
As for the "example.com" issue, that's nothing to do with Ceon URI Mapping. Check your includes/configure.php file for that.
Please don't post back here until you've tried all options (including uploading to your live server) as I'm about to post an announcement and I would rather it wasn't drowned out straight away by your reply!! :)
All the best..
Conor
