I am having problem after installing XC SEO 1.2.0. I get a "404 not found" error. Based on what I read from some of the post in this thread, that the .htaccess file included with XC SEO install needs to be added to the existing .htaccess. However, I've done that as well. I paste the content of the included .htaccess file into my existing .htaccess. But still the same "404 not found" error.

I want to use this mod, but couldn't get this to work, please someone give me some guidance. Thanks

Here is what's in my .htaccess file:

Options -Indexes
DirectoryIndex home.php
