Oops, we had the following problem:
Category 'robots.txt' does not exist.

Thanks Volker,
I already have the mod rewrite up and running,what I am saying is because of the mod rewrite, I cannot get files I upload into the root directory like robots.txt and others and wondering if any one had the same problem and how they fixed it.

Have a look at the code in Andy's posting (see link). You will need to define a rule for your robots.txt to not being treated as a paramter to page.cgi. For example, this one should do the trick:

Code:
RewriteRule (.*)\.txt $1.txt [L]
