Topic: How to turn on Htaccess

[asok]

My web guy wants me to turn on Htaccess for the ibays.  He does not care about security.  I showed him this http://wiki.contribs.org/Htaccess and he said it did to much.  Any ideas on how to turn on Htaccess on the ibays and worrying about the security?

If thats his attitude then he should IMHO definitely become your "EX web guy".

The link in your post is the correct procedure to follow.

Good point.  But, is there a way to set it up so that the reset of the world can read it without a password?  Also not my idea but the owner of the company.  The web guy and I are just doing what we are told.

httpd will pay attention to .htaccess for any given ibay if you

Code: [Select]

db accounts setprop ibayname AllowOverride All
signal-event ibay-modify ibayname

• Replace ibayname with the name of the ibay in which you want to use .htaccess
• The argument provided after the keyword (AllowOverride) will be written directly into /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf, so any value that is valid for the apache AllowOverride directive can be used.  The default is None
• Taken from http://wiki.contribs.org/DB_Variables_Configuration#Apache_server_ibay_specific_.28httpd-e-smith.29
