The same location you have  your conf_global.php file.  

[Bart Russel]

Did that and it's still not working.

[Nathan Explosion]

That's a file called htaccess

It needs to be renamed to .htaccess

[Bart Russel]

Did that.... same error

Are you using apache?

[CoffeeCake]

@Bart Russel: .htaccess will only work if your web server is provisioned to use it and can read the file.

Is this a shared hosting environment? Are you using apache or some other web server like nginx (you'd need to this another way if nginx)? Can the account at the web server is running on read the .htaccess file?

If you are using nginx as your weberver, or if your host has AllowOverrides disabled, you will need to contact your host for assistance enabling rewrites.
