 * Loaded Muut into wordpress and I’m getting “an error occurred while processing
   this directive].
 * I can not even get into my wordpress admin. [http://66.147.244.169/~onpoinv0](http://66.147.244.169/~onpoinv0)
 * Suggestions?
 * Thanks,

 * Read through some of the other posts and the Forum Name had a space between words.
   Could be the cause of the problem.

 * EDIT: The body of this response below was mostly written before your last response.
   It should validate to make sure there aren’t any spaces in the forum name, but
   follow the below instructions to reset things if it still is not working and 
   then the forum name should be the name you registered at muut.com. So, muut.com/[
   forumname]; let me know if that doesn’t solve the issue!
 * PREVIOUS BODY:
    Not an error we’ve seen before, but definitely can help get to
   the bottom of it and get things working. 🙂
 * Can you tell me at which point in the install process things broke? Also, If 
   you have access to the file manager, a good first step will be to remove the 
   Muut plugin and reset the .htaccess file in the WordPress root (just re-name 
   it to .htaccess-bak, and that should do the trick). Let me know if you do both
   of those things and still cannot access the wp-admin and then we can take it 
   from there.

 * Paul,
 * The installation and activation went fine. The error seemed to occur when I named
   the forum, but I’m not sure. I’m a newbie and not sure how I get access to the
   file manager. Can you assist with login details?
 * Thanks
    Tom

 * If you don’t have FTP access to your site for managing files directly, your host
   should be able to reset the .htaccess for you if you ask them to. I would love
   to see a copy of the current (broken) one, if they were able to send a copy to
   you. My e-mail is paul [at] muut [dot] com. Keep me posted!
