.htaccess makes my site disappear

  • Hi! I want to get rid of my messy permalinks so I made the file .htaccess and uploaded it to my root directory with the following code:

    # BEGIN WordPress
    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
    </IfModule>
    # END WordPress

    After this, I could no longer access my website. I got an error message saying “IISPassword – The page cannot be displayed.” Next, I tried changing the permission settings on index.php to 666 instead of default 755. My FTP client (FileZilla) didn’t let me overwrite the default. Not sure what to try next?

    Any help would be appreciated.
