Greetings. Let me set the stage here. I recently purchased hosting for a guild website and decided to use xoops. The hosting company I am using is Siteground (www.siteground.com)They offerd a feature called "fantastico De Lux" which I used to auromatically install Xoops. I did so but when i try to run admin.php i get the following error.

"Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /admin.php on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request."

I did some research and found that it may be a problem with .htaccess but I have no idea how that works. I am fairly new to this hence why I decided to use XOOPS in the first place. Other than the setup process it appears that it would be a good and easy way for me to make a good website for my clan. Please if anyone could take the time to walk me through this problem it would be greatly appreciated.
