Hi Guys, this is a little of a grey area.. so perhaps post install would be better but here goes...
I have a drupal 7 site, and a WHMCS install under the same domain. Since i set it up, something, somewhere has changed, and now instead of being able to go to mysite.com for the drupal site, and mysite.com/hosting for WHMCS, drupal is grabbing the mysite.com/hosting url and throwing a 404.
I've checked the alias', nothing there, i cant see anything off in .htaccess (pasting below anyway) and generally can't find any reason that it shouldn't work.
Tl;dr - Drupal is grabbing a url and preventing it resolving as it should by instead assuming it is being used for something on the drupal site.
mysite.com < drupal
mysite.com/hosting < WHMCS (but drupal is throwing 404)

Server is CentOS, Cpanel.

OK, update: with the changes
OK, update:
with the changes in the above link applied, drupal is still catching it. The .htaccess file is being used, as adding a random text string causes a 500.
RTFM!
