On initial installation I receive a 404 page. If I remove htaccess it works fine.

When I initially had trouble I contacted my host and they told me to contact the developer because when they renamed the htaccess file the site loaded fine.

This is a fresh install with version 11.0.3 on Root with no custom changes. Was not a good first experience. I am just trying to install it from fresh with no custom edits.

Now I am concerned running the site without htaccess will cause issues because now I cannot log into the site and get to the admin dashboard. I don't want to have to reinstall all over again.

Check that AllowOverride for htaccess on the server.
Remove everything except the rewrite rules...

Code Select Expand

RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)/?$ index.php [L]

Without the actual error (check the server's error log) it's really hard to guess.

Checking Error log

I think I will just reinstall

Reinstalling doesn't change anything file-wise.
