[support] Clean URLs

[Troy]

Thanks Sander.  The .httaccess file already exists in /httpdocs.  I tried
assigning write access to this file (both group and other), but I still have
the same issue - the enable will not stick.  I'll have to contact support
and see if .htaccess is supported.

Thanks again,

Troy
