I suggest asking them about it because someone needs to look at it to find the problem.

Yes will contact them , i have so many more problems, maybe i will cancel my subsription, its problems all the time, the are playing around with their cPanel theme and i want the x2. but no fantastico in it, and it their cpanel is lots still working even when i have disabled it, but the bigest things is their name is overal in it and i can't change it, i want a clean cpanel for my customers.... and my WHM is very empty if i compare it with others

Thanks anyway for your help...

When i place a .htaccess file in the folder, it is deleted automaticall, is this a setting from my hosting provider ?
Is that also the explanation why the redirect is not working ?

Thanks

If you're placing via ftp, some ftp clients hide any files starting with a '.' by default. You might have to poke around in view menus or preferences if this is the case.

Thanks it was indeed a hidden file...learning a load in this way, but its not working yet...this is my content of the .htaccess file...what should the file permissions be ? 644

redirect permanent http://domain.com/mambo/ http://domain.com

Not the www included.

Thanks
