.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!

    Dear hosted members, We have noticed that many members are knowingly or unknowingly breaking some

    lead to more unnecessary work for moderators and admins, 'defacement' of the foums and
    sometimes even banning of the concerned member. The rules are there and you are also there. But
    have you read them? Usually, if you have read the rules and understood them, it is not expected

  7. Issues Uploading A File [resolved] - (3)
    Hi there. I have been trying to upload a zip file only about 2mb to my account through CPanel.
    First I tried uploading it to a new folder in public_ftp. Then i tried to put it in the main part
    of public_ftp. I also tried the same thing in public_html. It shows the file being uploaded, and i
    get 100 %, but alas, when i look in the folders nothing is there. Is there a restriction on .zip
    files? I have had no problems as of yet uploading htm and html pages. Please let me know ASAP.
