Some background info: I am running the latest version of magento. My install is hosted on SiteGround and I have an addon domain linked to the magento folder as its root. I have webserver rewrites enabled, autoredirect to base url disabled. My unsecure domain is in the format http://www.domain.com/, my secure https://www.domain.com. I have secure url for frontend enabled and secure url for backend disabled.
My Problem: Everything in the backend works wonderfully. However, in the frontend, the main page loads, but upon trying to login i get a 404 not found (as it is using the https:// secure domain). If i add alter the address to include index.php/ the page loads and the error goes away. I am pretty sure its a .htaccess issue, however I am not sure how to resolve it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you. soliman
