An .htaccess file question

Posted: Wed Jan 20, 2010 10:06 pm Post subject: An .htaccess file question

If I already have the following code in my .htacess file and I upload it, what will it show?

RewriteEngine on

# -FrontPage-

IndexIgnore .htaccess */.??* *~ *# */HEADER* */README* */_vti*

<Limit GET POST>
order deny,allow
deny from all
allow from all
</Limit>
<Limit PUT DELETE>
order deny,allow
deny from all
</Limit>
AuthName wom-hat.com
AuthUserFile /home/nope/public_html/_vti_pvt/service.pwd
AuthGroupFile /home/nope/public_html/_vti_pvt/service.grp

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^wom-hat.com$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.wom-hat.com$
RewriteRule ^admin\/?$ "http\:\/\/www\.wom\-hat\.com\/" [R=302,L]

Hi,

What do you mean by "what will it show"?

Thanks,

That code is in the htaccess file so if I upload that now will it show a blank page or...? thanks.

Hi,

People won't be able to access the .htaccess via their browsers.

Thanks,

Andrew

Thanks. Lastly (hopefully) after editing the htaccess where do I change the file permissions for the file, via the FTP or cpanel?

Hi,

I don't believe you'd need to change permissions for the .htaccess file, if you do for some reason though then FTP or cPanel are equally effective.

Do I need all this coding anyway?

"RewriteEngine on

# -FrontPage-

IndexIgnore .htaccess */.??* *~ *# */HEADER* */README* */_vti*"

Hi,

You need "RewriteEngine on" but you don't need the other 2 lines if you are not using FrontPage to upload your website.
