404 Problems .... again

So I have managed to set up Omeka. I can access the admin page, alter themes and add information. BUT from the mainpage, the user simply gets a 404 message when trying to browse items or collections or even the admin page directly (you have to get there from /install). Here is my .htaccess codes for a) the main folder; b) admin

# Remember to enable display_errors on development environments only.
<IfModule mod_php5.c>
php_value display_errors

0
php_flag register_globals off
</IfModule>

RewriteEngine on

# If know that mod_rewrite is enabled, but you are still getting mod_rewrite errors,

# uncomment the line below and replace "/" with your base directory.

# RewriteBase http://www.alexthenice.com/omeka RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

[OR]

# This ensures that Apache will not mistake the URL mysite.com/archive/ for a request for the physical directory that

stores files
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} .+\/archive\/
RewriteRule !\.(js|ico|gif|jpg|png|css)$ index.php

<FilesMatch "\.

(php|ini)$">
Order Allow,Deny
Deny from all
</FilesMatch>

<Files index.php>
Allow from all
</Files>

# Uncomment the lines below in order to enable caching of some files via Apache (after a finished site has gone live)
#

<IfModule mod_expires.c>

# <FilesMatch "\.(js|css|gif|png)$">

# ExpiresActive on

# ExpiresDefault "access plus 10 day"
# </FilesMatch>
</IfModule>
# added specifically for 1and1.com
AddType x-mapp-php5 .php
AddHandler x-mapp-php5 .php

b) RewriteEngine on

# If know that mod_rewrite is enabled, but you are still getting mod_rewrite errors,

# uncomment the line below and replace "/admin/" with your install directory.

RewriteBase /omeka/admin
RewriteRule !\.(js|ico|gif|jpg|png|css)$ index.php
# added specifically for 1and1.com
AddType x-mapp-php5 .php
AddHandler x-mapp-php5 .php

I can't see what the problem is. Except that I am trying to run this off 1 and 1

Are you running PHP 5.2.4?

Sorry, I fixed it apparently.

You have to specify the Rewrite / in the base .htaccess and in the /admin .htaccess. BUT not in /install.

Seems to work okay now although I have to type http://mywebsite.com/omeka/admin/ to get to the admin screen.
