LC Server on DreamHost?

[Scott Rossi]

Thanks for your continued help :-)

I’ve been in WTF land for like a day now.  I tried configuring using the
basic .htaccess that is supplied by RunRev in their lesson and the
original .htaccess that I was using before all these problems.  If I use
the old configuration, it prevents the operation of a custom forum on my
site.  DreamHost’s Ubuntu update really messed things up for me.

I’ve never used a terminal with the server ― not sure how to do that.
Dammit Jim, I’m a designer, not a server specialist!
