I tried enabling it in the ACP and the .htaccess file is there, but it didn't work.
functions.php should be edited to make it work. to get functions.php u have to go in your cPanel then in inc folder u will get it.
Go to: http://yourdomain.com/admin/index.php?mo...nge&gid=17

Replace yourdomain.com with your own domain name and select: "Enabled" in "Enable search engine friendly URLs?" drop down menu option.

functions.php only needs to be edited if you're using the google seo plugin.

For the core seo urls, you just need to enable them from the admincp and make sure .htaccess is there. If they still don't work then your host probably doesn't have or hasn't enabled mod_rewrite for you.

The .htaccess file just needs to be there and it will work by default?

Or does something need to be added to the .htaccess file?
Which SEO plugin are you using? The plugin's release thread or readme will tell you what to put in the .htaccess. In the case of the Google SEO plugin, it tells you what to put in there on the plugins page.
See htaccess.txt for an example what has to be in .htaccess to make the URLs work.

An empty .htaccess naturally won't help you much (if that's what you were asking).
