Can you post your .htaccess file?

Also, you might have already tried this, but you can see questions other students have asked about this topic via this link or by looking at the 'Questions' tab under the video. There's a lot of information in there that you may find helpful.

What software are you using? WAMP? XAMMP?

Which folder have you placed your files in? For example: C:\xampp\htdocs

Could you upload a screenshot to imgur or somewhere? It may help me to understand your problem.

Thanks
