URL & htaccess issues

[jaffamuffin1]

hi, 

 

I downloaded prestashop 2 days ago and I am having troubles with htaccess, index php and url... 

Webhost says DNS is fine. 

They advise to put '#' before any line that had the word "RewriteRule" but it didnt work. 

I tried replacing the old url with new one as advised on this post but that didnt work either. 

I am a complete novice with Cpanel and codes. 

When I set up the shop, it did ask to confirm something in SEO/URL and it has not worked since. I cant remember what I did wrong... 

I would appreciate any advice. 

Thank you for your time

 

Here is what my htaccess reads;
