ok, so i thought of one reason why this might be screwed up...
initially, i could have an .htaccess file, but then i went into the "apache handlers" thing in cpanel and added some handler for the extension .htaccess. but then i deleted it since i realized it was stupid, and it asked me 'are you sure you want to delete the handler ".htaccess"' to which i said yes.
i've had this disappearing .htaccess problem since.
forgive me, i know i sound really ignorant with all this.
