It is not default htaccess file, 


Remove the two lines you have on top and try again.

Tried that, still having issues with reading other pages on the site, however I'm installing a fresh copy of 1.7.3 but also have my old site backedup and users backed up. I went to the mysql database and backed up ow_base_user but don't see ow_base_avatar.

Bobby Brown, your .htaccess  is missing a lot of info. Try using default one:

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On

AddEncoding gzip .gz
AddEncoding gzip .gzip
<FilesMatch "\.(js.gz|js.gzip)$">
  ForceType text/javascript
</FilesMatch>
<FilesMatch "\.(css.gz|css.gzip)$">
  ForceType text/css
</FilesMatch>


RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/index\.php
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/ow_updates/index\.php
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/ow_updates/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/ow_cron/run\.php
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/e500\.php
#RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} (/|\.php|\.html|\.htm|\.xml|\.feed|robots\.txt|\.raw|/[^.]*)$  [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} (/|\.php|\.html|\.htm|\.xml|\.feed|robots\.txt|\.raw|/[^.]*)$  [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) index.php

Bobby, I happen to face such situation in past. And I resolved this by adding
RewriteBase /  into default .htaccess. May be this will help you as well

Ok I will also add that in and give it a go, do you know if you are using a windows server if apache is required, because I haeard default apache is for linux os. If so I will need to install apache on my windows server. As I don't even know where to start with that.

As far as I know Apache is required. Just get the whole stack installed: http://ampps.com/download

Do I need the DEV package? And can you walk me threw this, I do have remote access to my server.

Also keep in mind I have the Parallels Plesk Panel installed. Will this affect anything?

Bobby, if there's internal server error, that means your server does not meet our requirements, seems like mod_rewrite is not enabled. Contact your hosting provider to configure your server according to our requirements:http://www.oxwall.org/download

Get a regular package. You don't need to test latest php versions.

Ross, i have a server, I have full root access too the server, I need help enabling these things.

To enable mod_rewrite, I went through the below steps:

  1. Find and open the file .http.conf. This will be located in your Apache install folder. For me, the full path was C:Program Files (x86)Apache Software FoundationApache2.2conf
  2. Make a backup of http.conf which you can restore from, if anything were to go wrong
  3. Find the line #LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so and remove the hash ‘#’enable-mod-rewrite-1
  4. Locate the block within the directory tags as indicated below and change to:
    <directory />
    Options All

      AllowOverride All
    </directory>
    enable-mod-rewrite-2
  5. Find any additional occurrences of the line “AllowOverride None” and change it to “AllowOverride All”.
  6. Finally, restart apache server and your browser. The .htaccess rewriting should now be working for any local website or WordPress install instead of displaying the page not found error.
    restart-apache

We do not provide instructions on server configuration, you need to find a specialist on your own.

No prob. Wish u luck. Windows server is a lot more easier to configure but I strongly recommend Linux for security purposes.
