[quote author="Daniel Moore" date="1252997152"]If it didn't work, then you didn't try all combinations of alternative methods mentioned.
I have yet to find a host that I can't configure with some combination of the code given, as long as the host has mod_rewrite enabled.
If you would like me to get the .htaccess file working for you, I will do so for a fee. Contact me by PM and we'll make the arrangements.[/quote]
I fixed it!!!!! I think...
Thank you very much for your time and code

The problem was in my config file I needed to change $config['uri_protocol'] to "QUERY_STRING";
One slight problem, I host a website for a friend, and it doesn't work.
it is in a directory jessicademattos and the website is
www.jessicademattos.com
It says 403 - Forbidden Error, how do I fix that before she finds out?
my htaccess is
Code:
allow from all
Options -Indexes
Options +FollowSymLinks
Options -MultiViews
DirectoryIndex index.php
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.ludatha\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://ludatha.com/$1 [L,R=301]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?/$1 [NC,L,QSA]
</IfModule>
<IfModule !mod_rewrite.c>
ErrorDocument 404 index.php
</IfModule>
I removed the comments because otherwise I would run out of space :O
