If you are receiving the following error 500:
Recently limited functionality has been allowed within .htaccess, this allows any directives for limiting the availability, so for a quick example:

CODE

Order Deny,Allow
Deny from all

This can protect a directory.

There is however a caveat that comes along with only allowing this. Any directives which do not fall under the scope of 'Limit' will cause the server to choke and spit out the above 500 error.

To fix it, either comment out all other directives in your .htaccess, or move/delete the offending .htaccess.

Commenting in .htaccess is a line prefixed with '#'.

It is not at this time possible to use block statements around the limits.

CODE

<Directory /foo>
# this would not work
</DIrectory>

We are working on a solution.

I know this is free hosting but I have created my own 404 Error pages, 403, etc; but can you allow .htaccess to make these the default errorpages?

It would be really appreciated!


Thanks in advance!

I want to know if the following functions are allowed to be used in the .htaccess file?

CODE

php_value upload_max_filesize 20M
php_value post_max_size 20M
php_value max_execution_time 200
php_value max_input_time 200

Thanks.

I have just run a phpBB update (3.0.0 to 3.0.1) which involved uploading an 'install' directory. The update completed fine but in order to reaccess the board the /install directory must be removed (like in the initial installation of the board). From Filezilla I deleted the directory and it did the normal thing of deleting the files. However the /install directory still remains and cannot be deleted. It is empty apart from 2 .htaccess files which do not show up in filezilla and cannot be deleted using zymic file manager either.


Edit: I renamed the /install directory which at least allows me to access the board again.

But I still cannot delete it. Any ideas?

Your best bet is to go into your FTP program (I used filezilla) and locate the file in there and right click on it and delete it that way.

That is how I did it. See the screen below for a better idea....

Reason for edit: Broken Imaged URL Link Removed then Broken URL Link allowanced for Descriptive URL Link so as not to disturb content

[Dave]

Indeed I use filezilla and I tried to delete the files in that way... but the 2 folders in which the .htaccess files are located show as empty... yet they cannot be deleted because they contain these files. A confusing situation??

[Drewiske]

Are you able to take a screen shot with Snagit or even simply take a picture of your desktop and submit it here with the filazilla client open so we can see your files that you have in you phpbb3 folder?

It might make it a bit easier.

If you have MSN add me and I'll see what I can do to help: mdrewiske@hotmail.com

Issue resolved.... in FileZilla click 'Server' menu at the top and then 'Force showing hidden files'.
This made the 2 .htaccess files appear allowing me to delete them and then delete the whole /install directory

He and I figured it out. In filezilla, you have to click the button that shows "hidden files" in the server menu at the top of the page. Then you can go in and delete the .htasccess files and then delete the DIR [rectory] folders and it works fine.

hey can i use .htaccess to load my own custom error pages is it allowed

Thanks in advance

*edit got an answer

its allowed

[pcdoc2010]

Is this fixed, I really can't tell from the posts. Most of them were about actually viewing/editing the .htaccess file.

I'd like to be able to pswd the entire directory (site) if possible and this is the easiest way I know how.
I set it up but I keep getting the Internal Server Error.

My .htaccess file is this:

AuthName "Restricted Area"
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile /.htpasswd
AuthGroupFile /dev/null
require valid-user

is that the correct path?

Any help is much appreciated.
