[SOLVED] apache and php, force file extension

Helstedxd · 04-18-2011, 04:54 PM

Hi Everybody

I am playing with my LAMP server, and i need some help...

1. why can i access a php file on the server only by typing http://serverip/file with no .php extension on?

2. later i tryed to play with .htaccess, but when i uploaded it to the server it just disappeared, why is that?

Hi,

Try to play with your browser to read server documentation at httpd.apache.org. You may start here: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod...tml#filesmatch and consult your httpd.conf's file FilesMatch section mentioning:

<FilesMatch "^\.ht">

Have a nice reading!

In Unix, a file that starts with '.' is a 'hidden' file. To see it, you need the -a flag for ls ie

ls -a
