host doesn't allow .htaccess, site transfer
#1
I just finished building a website for a client who uses "enom" for hosting. When I transfered the site, I saw the "non-apache server environment" warning and uncommented the line in gsconfig and it went away.

After that, I attempted to log into the admin pannel with no success at all, and the recover function password doesn't send a new one.

Php IS running though. As a matter of fact, the website, except for the website root being incorrect because I couldn't log in to update it, is basically running.

Enom doesn't allow you to use .htaccess files, it uses a system where you select which file you want the server to automatically load. When I tried to add a file named .htaccess to that list, it doesn't allow it.

I also need to guarantee that the website is secure, since their previous website was maliciously attacked (probably because of enom right?)

What are my options at this point? I just knew Enom was going to give me problems *facepalm*. I have a feeling that my best and easiest option is just convince the client to transfer the domain name registration to me, and ditch enom for hosting all together?
