Need .htaccess help, sub-domain and DNS forwarding
In a continuation of helping my friend with her website (hosting expired), I set up a subdomain through my chickshare.com account with GoDaddy. They created a directory called UniqueDesigns (makes sense to me, could it be a case sensitivity issue? Nope, tried that just now, renamed to uniquedesigns with no change/) Through register.com (her registration service), I set DNS forwarding to this subdomain, uniquedesigns.chickshare.com. It seems to have taken effect now, but I get a 403 Forbidden error for her URL: http://www.uniquedesigns-scenes.com/ .

Here is my .htaccess, I modified it to get my wiki to be under /wiki, but .htaccess really makes my head hurt:
Code:
# -FrontPage-
#<Files ~ (wiki|redirect)>
#        ForceType application/x-httpd-php
#</Files>


DirectoryIndex w/index.php 

#IndexIgnore .htaccess */.??* *~ *# */HEADER* */README* */_vti*

RewriteEngine On
#Options FollowSymLinks

###
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/(stylesheets|images|skins)/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/(redirect|texvc|index).php
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/(40(1|3|4)|500).shtml
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/favicon.ico
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/robots.txt
###

#ReWriteRule ^wiki/(.*) w/index.php?title=$1 [T=application/x-httpd-php-source]
ReWriteRule ^wiki/(.*) w/index.php?title=$1 [L,QSA]

<Directory UniqueDesigns>
#ServerName 
#DirectoryIndex UniqueDesigns/index.html
#Options FollSymLinks+ Indexes+
#ReWriteRule ^UniqueDesigns/(.*) uniquedesigns-scenes/(.*) [L,QSA]
</Directory>

#RewriteRule ^apple$ banana
#RewriteRule ^wiki/(.*) w/index.php?title=$1 
#RewriteRule ^$ /wiki/Main_Page [R] 
#RewriteRule ^wiki/*$ ^index.php?title=$1 [L,QSA] 

###
I've thought to double-check the DNS forwarding on register.com, but I can't get there from work (register.com blocked completely by our IS department). The permissions on uniquedesigns are drwx---r-x (705?) I can change these too, though it looks ok.

I'm far from being an expert on this but try changing the permissions just to see if it does work at all, 750, 751?
