    htaccess troubles

    Posted 17 years 10 months ago
    • Hi,
      how do I set htaccess to igore directories? I have searched google to no avail
      Basically some settings needed for joomla cause problems in other directories
      Cheers!

    • Na it doesn't
      Baiscally I have some folders under my root, and a htaccess at the root of my hosting
      It has some stuff in it to correct Joomla installation etc, but the settings set in the htaccess conflict with stuff in the folders
      I need to get it so that those folders are ignored

      See what I mean?

    • Try the Joomla! forums :)

    • And it is not a Rocket Theme issue either but it does not mean people at the Joomla! forums are incapable of answering. It is a much larger forum and you may get a faster response there. Double your posts, double your changes :)

    • This might not be the technical way of doing it, but if you create a blank index.html and upload it to your root it will make the folders go away.

    • put new .htaccess files in the folders you want ignored by the main .htaccess with the settings you've put in the main .htaccess reversed

      Remind me to come back and read this when I'm sober. Right now I have zero chance of understanding what this said.

    • sheesh! it's too advanced even for me to understand. the fumes from the rocket fuel seem to have gotten to my head.

      see the directory structure below:

      public_html/.htaccess
      public_html/administrator/
      public_html/templates/
      public_html/modules/
      public_html/mambots/
      public_html/downloads/.htaccess
      public_html/downloads/images/
      public_html/downloads/screensavers/
      public_html/downloads/wallpaper/

      in the above structure, public_html/.htaccess should apply to all files and directories on the site. However, adding a .htaccess in the downloads folder means all files and folders in that (downloads) folder now adopt the settings in this second .htaccess and ignore the original (public_html/.htaccess) all together.

      note that this is dependent on your server settings.
