    OT: htaccess line?



    Can anyone tell me what this means in an .htaccess file?

    IndexIgnore .htaccess */.??* *~ *# */HEADER* */README* */_vti*

    OT: htaccess line?



    On a server with directory indexing turned on, that will
    prevent files that are named .htaccess, begin with a
    period, have a tilde or pound sign in them, or begin with
    HEADER or README or _vti from being shown.

      It means you have FrontPage extensions installed on the server.... or at
      least they used to be there (disabling FP extensions does not change these
      default entries in .htaccess).

      IndexIgnore prevents viewing of files specified on that line using web
      browsers. On a properly configured server directory indexing should be
      turned off already, but FrontPage includes this line automatically when you
      install it on a domain.

        Okay, cool. So with an htaccess file as follows:
        --------------------
        # -FrontPage-

        IndexIgnore .htaccess */.??* *~ *# */HEADER* */README* */_vti*

        <Limit GET POST>
        order deny,allow
        deny from all
        allow from all
        </Limit>
        <Limit PUT DELETE>
        order deny,allow
        deny from all
        </Limit>
        AuthName www.newscienceideas.com
        AuthUserFile /home/virtual/site6/fst/var/www/html/_vti_pvt/service.pwd
        AuthGroupFile /home/virtual/site6/fst/var/www/html/_vti_pvt/service.grp

        Redirect /index.html
        <A HREF ="http://www.newscienceideas.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=SFNT&Store_Code">http://www.newscienceideas.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=SFNT&Store_Code</A>
        =UT
        ----------------

        Why would this code not work in there for SFL? I put it at the top, and I
        get Forbidden errors at the site and in admin....

        RewriteEngine On
        RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !-s
        RewriteRule ^page/(.*) /Merchant2/merchant.mvc?page=$1

          Probably the ? In the redirect.

          Try truncating it after merchant.mvc

          The default is the storefront anyhow.

            Better yet, change the redirect just to:

            DirectoryIndex /Merchant2/merchant.mvc

              You just discovered the pleasures of working with FrontPage and .htaccess -
              these two mix like oil and water. While most things can be still done in
              .htaccess, they will require making additional changes to make them work on
              sites that have FP extensions enabled. Sometimes it requires explicitly
              turning on a specific directive in .htaccess before you enter your changes,
              and sometimes it's as elaborate as having to reset file permissions and/or
              editing very specific files that FP generates in its various _vti_*
              directories. I'd suggest a good book on FP extensions and server
              administration, or living on MS Technet site for a while to learn all these
              little idiosyncrasies.

                OT: htaccess line? - Follow Up Question



                I found out the site is no longer maintained with FrontPage, so I'll get
                them to get their host to get rid of the FrontPage extensions. Or change
                hosts....

                Thanks!

                Chuck
