Hi all, on a winME box, can I name a file .htaccess ?

I tried but it states that the file must have a file name

it only sees the "htaccess" part as an extention



help needed........

Thanks for any info

I think you can just name it htaccess and change the AccessFilename in httpd.conf to htaccess [from the default .htaccess]

Thanks I'll give it a go and post back the results, sounds right to me though

all the best


thanks again

AccessFileName .htaccess

I'll just rename that and see what happens

thanks again

You are welcome... :) I see no reason why it should not work.. remember to restart apache after that change

Also do remember to put

AllowOverride All

for Apache to read the htaccess file

Great, it worked, I did have trouble untill I changed the

allowoverride none

to

allowoverride all


Thanks heaps, I now have a bit more security on my unsecure box

lol


thanks again
