I cannot open my site via [www.mysite.com](http://www.mysite.com) , but if i open [www.mysite.com/index.php](http://www.mysite.com/index.php)  
it works.  
i think it has to do with the existing .htaccess which is :

RewriteEngine On  
RewriteCond %{REQUEST\_FILENAME} !-f  
RewriteCond %{REQUEST\_FILENAME} !-d  
RewriteRule ^(.\*)$ /index.php?$1 [L]  
AddType x-mapp-php5 .php

What can I do ?
