.htaccess in Red Hat 9

dsschanze · 12-27-2004, 10:29 PM

Hi,
I am needing to set up a secure website and I need to know where to find the .htaccess file or where to put one that I make in Red Hat 9. I also would like someone to make me an example of an .htaccess file.

Thanks if you can give me some help and support!

I put a .htaccess in my /var/www/html/pub/ folder to allow indexing of the contents, like ftp. This is what i put:

Code:

Options Indexes

Every directory in pub/ has this option enabled as well. And this is what i have set in my commonhttpd.conf

Code:

#
# AccessFileName: The name of the file to look for in each directory
# for access control information.
#
AccessFileName .htaccess

#
# The following lines prevent .htaccess files from being viewed by
# Web clients.  Since .htaccess files often contain authorization
# information, access is disallowed for security reasons.  Comment
# these lines out if you want Web visitors to see the contents of
# .htaccess files.  If you change the AccessFileName directive above,
# be sure to make the corresponding changes here.
#
# Also, folks tend to use names such as .htpasswd for password
# files, so this will protect those as well.
#
<IfModule mod_access.c>
<Files ~ "^\.ht">
    Order allow,deny
    Deny from all
</Files>
</IfModule>

Here's a link to an info page, too http://httpd.apache.org/docs/howto/htaccess.html

Hope this helps.
