Drupal not working on hostmonster?

[Seb]

Did anyone ever install a 100% working Drupal installation on hostmonster?

First I developed my drupal site locally and then moved it onto my hostmonster account and here the problem is. When trying to login it gives me "Access denied - You are not authorized to view this page".

Naturally I go to drupal.org to search for help and there seems to be quite some users experiencing the exact same problem. However some of them could resolve thier problem by running a few SQL queires and other minor tweaks, none of which worked for me. Yes I have also cleared my cookies. ;)

So I began to think it was a problem on Hostmonster's end and tried to install it through SimpleScripts (both version 5.7 and 6.2). And same problem here, can't login.
I also tried a fresh new manual installation. This time I got some SQL error in the installation process saying some table was missing. Again, not much help from drupal.org on this specific issue.

Now I just got back from a 40 min live support session and they couldn't make a successful installation either and didn't know what was wrong but suggested I opened a support ticket.
He finished off with:

***** [2:21:41 PM]: sorry I could not get it fixed
[2:22:06 PM]: as a rule though Drupal does work on hostmonster
[2:22:18 PM]: just not this time

I should mention I'm on a PHP 5 box but I guess all of them are upgraded now.

I will submit a support ticket. Meanwhile just wondered if anyone installed Drupal successfully lately?

i did and i did managed to login but i removed it shortly after (got confused on what to do, again) but after i removed it, when i deleted it from public folder, every time i refresh the page, it's there again.

Thanks for you answer.

I seem to have resolved this by moving one of my custom php.ini files to my drupal directory. I don't have FastCGI enabled so not sure exactly what in my file that overrides hostmonster's defaults that made this work.
