.htaccess Status

[Ed]

If you are receiving the following error 500:

Internal Server Error

The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

Please contact the server administrator, webmaster@hosting.zymic.com and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

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.

MediaWiki uses Deny from all in every htaccess file. Does this mean that the software won't work?

[Ed]

Deny's are fine. Just as long as no other directives are used in that file, it should have no problems.

I want to ask can we use the rewrite engine?

I want to ask can we use the rewrite engine?

At the moment, no, but we have a solution for this in the pipeline. I will get this done over the weekend.

[Ed]

I apologize I did not get the time to complete this. When I get a spare moment I will get back on it.

I tryied upload a .htaccess file but can't see it , is not on the server when i try to upload it

@ Bread: Thanks Bread, I'm glad you guys are working on a solution for this. There are a number of legit web applications that need to have .htaccess (and some other hidden files) to be uploaded onto the servers in order for them to work. Perhaps it's wrong for me to give anyone the benefit of the doubt, but I'm sure many people who upload these files have no malicious intention.

@ zymic_user: Your .htaccess file is actually uploaded to your server, but you will need to use an FTP client with the capability of seeing hidden files in the remote server. The good news is that most FTP clients allow you to do this, such as CuteFTP, SmartFTP, FlashFXP, and so on, but the bad news is that most of them do not view hidden files by default; therefore, you will have to consult their manual to find out how to do this. Generally speaking, it's either by click on on some button that allows you to view hidden files, or using a server-side filter "-la" (without the double-quotes). I hope this helps, you'll need it especially if you want to delete a folder containing hidden files...

Hi,
I originally posted a question here: http://www.zymic.com/forum/index.php?showt...amp;#entry14360
regarding protecting a (sub)directory, and the admin suggested I post here instead, so here goes:
I want to protect a subdirectory called 'database' in my root. I have created a .htaccess document in the /database directory. This is it:

AuthType Basic
AuthName "ependyDatabaseDir"
AuthUserFile "/www/zzl.org/e/p/e/ependymoma/.htpasswd"
Require valid-user

I also created a .htpasswd file in the root, with a username/password combination. Both files have 755 permissions. I am still getting 500 error when I attempt to access a page in the database directory. Any help with what is going wrong?

From what I have gleaned on the forums things should work: the permissions are good, both files I think include *only* what they should, and I believe the path is correct.
