rewrite-rules.php not working

   I am hosted on godaddy.com. The pretty permalinks were not working after changing the config and .htaccess file. I then tried to run /bb-admin/rewrite-rules.php and get the following message: "Internet explorer cannot download rewrite-rules.php from mywebsite.com. Internet explorer was not able to open this Internet site. The requested site is either unavailable or cannot be found."

   I doublechecked the domain, the spelling, the case, and everything is where it should be. BBpress is installed in the root directory '/'. What obvious thing am I missing? website at http://www.sevenhillsga.com

   I have heard horror stories of getting fancy URL's working with WP on godaddy hosting, let alone bbPRess. Some relevant posts on godaddy and bbPress that might help you along:

   Searching google or this forum might also have some other things to try with godaddy and bbPress.

   I have the same Problem! What do you think can I do by myself? Do know a guide or something for download or do I need an expensive programmer? All the best.

   Exactly the same problem? You're hosted at GoDaddy, and IE will not download rewrite-rules.php? For this problem there is no guide, but it can probably be solved without an expensive programmer :)

   Saboy, have you tried getting around the IE problem by using a plugin that adds a menu page to bb-admin and includeing rewrite-rules.php to output the code there instead? Worth a try.
