Hi,
I've just had a re-read over this issue, as it should be simple to fix!
I noticed that you've mentioned the .htaccess file in the applications folder as being the one you've been changing....
It would have just had deny all in it.
Have you tried creating ( as there is not one by default ) in your main folder above the application folder... The same folder where you're lonely index.php file is living... As this is the index.php file the htaccess file is wanting to use.
So try creating a new .httaccess file with the settings you originally had and save it above the application folder/system folder etc...
I'm guessing you had it in the wrong location.
But if it's running happily on your live webserver I could be right off the mark on this one!
What that suggests is ( and I'm about to be glaringly obvious here ) there's something different between your live server and your MAMP setup...
So the only things you really need to make this work ( on a good day ) is have mod_rewrite active - and the correct htaccess file in the correct location... and it should ( famous last words... ) Just Work!
Cheers
Tim
