Topic: Problem using .htaccess files in ibays

[phil]

I'm using SME Server 6.0 and I have a query regarding the use of .htaccess files in ibays.

Basically, I'm trying to use some ForceType directives in a .htaccess file to tell Apache that some filenames should be treated as PHP files.

e.g.

Code: [Select]

<Files articles>
ForceType application/x-httpd-php
</Files>

...so I can have 'nice' paths like www.domain.com/articles/100

...but it ain't happening - can anyone help?

have you downloaded the htaccess rpm contrib?

No, not yet. What does this do? Is there any documentation provided before I install it - just to be sure it's what I need?

Cheers,

Thanks - I installed it anyway and it did the trick - though I'm not entirely sure what it changed! (documentation could be better?...)
