.htaccess File In Hosting Space Modification - what happens if i modify it?

spy_charly
hello guys!... i just installed from fantastico joomla and i while i was installing it, it prompt me if i wish to install it on the root directory i should delete the .htaccess that is there, my question is, what happens if i delete the file located there or if i replace the file?

Is it going to damage my site, the login or something?

if you dont know the .htaccess is basicly the permissions of the files/folders in the dirrectory, and you should over-ride it because since it is asking you to put a new one in it is giving people access to view certin documents that they would not be able to view with a notmal .htaccess

Well, do it as it says!
But be sure to make a backup of the existing .htaccess file and then copy the content of that and paste it in the new .htaccess file

well if it wants you to over-write the previous ones dont you think it will allready include the previous stuff with the extra stuff that is needed? or do you mean thet if you customized it yourself make sure you put your custom code in with the joomla code? im just doing this for my future reference

theres no reason to expect it to have what was in the old one. It is merely replacing the old one with its own version of what .htaccess should be. (which may or may not be what you want it to be)

ok i will over-write it, i think catfish is right, i dint think the new one will contain the data included in the old one since it is being over-written, ok i will give it a try to see what happens :-), thanx for your help guys!

    For the past 15-20 hours I haven't been able to access CPanel or connect to my domain through

    talking about the same hosting account? I figure that a non-working CPanel could be due to problems
    in the CPanel framework but how about FTP access? shouldn't that be a direct access to my domain
    regardless of CPanel status? Right now the http access to the site works but the ftp access

    Domains and hosting (6)
    I went on the billing site, to approximate how much much my hosting would cost a year and it came

    have 5 for $23.80). This was more than hlaf of the yearly cost. Are there plans to keep the prices
    for the addon domains the same, or if they will be lowered? Here is my plan right now: QUOTE

  6. What Is Vps Web Hosting?
    Virtual Private Server and Hosting (6)
    This is probably a dumb question, but what exactly is VPS hosting? After reading up on wikipedia I
    found out it's essentially a server with a bunch of split operating systems on it. The article
    also said generally a VPS hosting service gives its users superlevel-access so they could run any
    software on the Operating System. Is that true? If it is VPS hosting would be very useful to me and
    my clan because we need a dedicated system to run a server im developing (writing it in .NET). So I
    would need an updated Windows XP OS to run it on. But for some reason I'm dou....

    hosting package be automatically rolled over? Just wanting to make sure that I am not going to lose
    all of my information and all once the transformation is complete. Also, what if we end up doing

    access... Is this really true? If it is, would I be able to run, for example, an irc bot with the
    account? Another thing... Your web server does not gzip content. This causes more traffic to be
    generated, etc etc... Is there any chance to activate this feature? The question regarding credits
    is a fairly simple one. I'd just like to know how you assure posting quality.. I mean, the c....
