I did that, still nothing.
Then I went to the admin control panel and selected "Enable Full Friendly URL's" and still nothing.

If I remember, HostGator's control panel is already seat to show hidden files... so do you see a .htaccess in your /public_html folder. The WWW folder is just a symbolic link to your /public_html folder, so everything that is in /public_html is also visible there.

Since it does not work without index.php part then you need to check DirectoryIndex as mentioned here: http://xenforo.com/community/threads/index-php.55199/#post-588356
Some hosts by default does not add index.php so it would show blank page.

Would it help if I created a sub-folder within public_html called /forum and moved the content there?
From my first post in the thread:

Yep, but not everyone knows that the .html will override the .php extension when being read unless you modify the DirectoryIndex directive in .htaccess so that index.php is first in line (by default, the .html extension is).

Yes, once I logged into his cPanel it took all of 30 seconds to see what the problem was and fix.
I've been in the same boat before, so I can't complain - we all started somewhere and have overlooked something as simple as that staring us in the face and us not seeing it. Me more than most probably since I have a bad habit of doing stuff to all three forums at one time.

So sorry to have burdened you, I am not a level 1,000 grand wizard expert such as yourself.
I will now hang my head in shame.

No need to... as I said, we all started somewhere.... and I still get bit in the posterior by simple stuff like this all the time. You can ask @Shelley about that... she's saved my bacon a time or two (yes, Shelley - I said bacon, and no you can't have any of it you saved - it's ALL mine).

Rather than sarcasm, you could always just thank the people who took time out to help you.

I already thanked him via private message.
Rather than being condescending, you could realize that some people are not as familiar with this type of stuff as you are.
I guess all of my posts in this thread don't count as trying to help you then?
Noted for the future.

I think the Roast & Dumplings you were cooking is more appealing to me than bacon.
