Not really complaining, since this is a free host and most free hosts don't offer .htaccess, but mod_rewrite would be nice.

Well, I'm trying to get my site to be able to do this...http://www.tkdami.net/~dgames/download/css/maps/...but I don't how to left a specific directory be accessible publicly...or that indexing isn't enabled..

This is disabled so people aren't using the hosting purely for file hosting.

[b]" 530 login authentication failed "[/b] -- what does this mean?

...means your login info is incorrect.
Recheck your FTP username and password.
The host should be: username.server.com (i.e fun.zxq.net or fun.vndv.com; depends on your site's URL)
Username is your URL without .server.com (i.e if your host is fun.vndv.com, then your username is fun)
Password is your password.

hi..

im getting 500 Internal Server Error

can i use php_value register_globals 1 for vndv.com's server? because it works fine in zxq.net's server

thnks in advance..

i cannot verify my site with google cause 404 returns 200 for non existent files also. can somebody help?

Some one tell me why this is not allowed:



Would be nice to make my site search engine friendly. I really don't see why this would compromise any? Was wondering why is this not permitted.

Is the PATH_INFO server variable available?

And can I use the .htaccess file to force a mimetype for a file without an extension?

>And can I use the .htaccess file to force a mimetype for a file without an extension?

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/mod/core.html#defaulttype

It worked for me.

please enable mod_rewrite

I can't use .htaccess and .htpasswd, please help!!

What are you trying to do, and what error are you getting? The contents might also be helpful.

Well, it's 500 Internal Server Error!!
I can set the password before but not now....

500 error probably means you've made a mistake in your htaccess. Is it possible to have a look at your code?

Hi, I am new and wanted to set up .htaccess and .htpasswd.

1) I created .htaccess and placed in the directory I wanted to protect : http://myweb.vndv.com/member/

2) I then created .htpasswd and placed in the same directory(Or should I put it in the root directory?)

My .htaccess file:
AuthType Basic
AuthName http://myweb.vndv.com/member/
AuthUserFile http://myweb.vndv.com/.htpasswd

require valid-user

When I tried to access the member directory, the authentication did pop up, but after I typed in the username and password, the box will not go away.
I cannot access member subdirectory.

Can somebody help me? My .htpasswd is in the form "user:password". Should password be encrypted?

Thanks All who will help me!

NB: http://myweb.vndv.com is just made up only. Please do not access it. But my problem is REAL. Pls help. 8-(

Yes, your password should be encrypted, this should help : http://home.flash.net/cgi-bin/pw.pl

If the username / password is incorrect it won't go away until you click cancel.

Hi there, I am new to Zymic, and I find it's features very attractive. I just want to ask: can I have my own custom 404 and 403 error pages using .htaccess? Thanks!

Yes, this is allowed.
