it should work out of the box, how are you handling your rewrites?

I haven't touched the .htaccess file in the public folder.

Anyone have any ideas? I looked around and found this code:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
Options +FollowSymLinks
DirectoryIndex index.php
RewriteEngine On
</IfModule>

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /index\.php\ HTTP/
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ / [R=301,L] 

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . / [L]

But when I replace the contents of public/.htaccess with this and try to access the page with http://www.mydomain.com/folder-name, it gives me a 403 error.
