I just deleted .htaccess in public_html!

mikespe · November 14th, 2004, 9:19 AM

I am not sure if I really did something major here. I just deleted my .htaccess file from the public_html directory on accident. I thought I was in my forum directory. I have not edited that file so its the same one that ws originally installed.

Does anyone have a copy of the "factory" installed .htaccess file? By not having this file will my site act wierd? Since there weren't any edits to the file I am hoping someone may have this

Thank you for your help!

It's not required.

thx voltage. I have been reading a little about them. I may play around with creating one just to see what they can do.

Thx

They can be very useful, but rarely can they ruin anything.

actually, i think they can ruin things quite easily, heh. just screw up the syntax in a .htaccess file, and you'll get an 500 - internal server error.

anyway, i think this page provides a good discussion of .htaccess files:
