Why .htaccess does not support in Windows? - .htaccess

Good evening to all my beloved friends and respected participants!
I had face this problem that windows does not support .htaccess file .May I know why Window does not support this file extension?

Windows can't use files without name, because the dot in the name means htaccess is an extension for it. Unfortunately it's not the case. .htaccess is the full name of the file. If you want to rename a txt file to .htaccess, you can use windows command line :
rename "file.txt" ".htaccess"

Magento Installation Without .htaccess

I'm making a new Magento Installation and like always, access magento.com to download the installations files.
For my surprise, theres no more .htaccess in the compress files O.o
Someone can tell why or give any tip?
It is always there, but it's a hidden file so just change the setting of the Files Manager or Finder to see it.

CakePHP htaccess files on 1und1 webserver

I'm trying to install my cakephp webapp on an 1und1 (German version of 1and1) webspace.
PHP and MySQL are installed and there seems to be a problem with my htaccess files as I can't open the css files for example on the webspace (404).
How does my .htaccess files have to look like?
The application is not installed in the root directory (that's unfortunately not possible), it's located under:
http://www.mysite.de/myfolder/system
http://www.mysite.de/myfolder/system/app
http://www.mysite.de/myfolder/system/app/webroot
I tried a lot of combinations. But none are working.
The last example I tried were the answers from this question: how to configure htaccess file for Cake 2.3.x on 1and1 shared hosting
Any recommondations?
Using the built in method for url-rewriting solved my problem: http://book.cakephp.org/2.0/en/development/configuration.html#core-configuration-baseurl

Install modx in a subfolder

I like my webspace tidy :)
Therefore if my root-folder is html/ I would like to install modx (version 2.2) in the subdirectory html/modx/
For my website-visitors everything should be the same as if I would have installed modx in the root folder (html/).
I also don't want to do without friendly urls.
To make it even more difficult: I also really like the builtin modx file browser and I would love to use it for every file and folder in the document root (so every file inside html/* should be displayed).
(How) is this possible?
Additional question: if it is possible, is it better to reinstall modx in the subfolder or to move my installation to the new location (html/modx). As my installation is only a few days old, either option would be fine.
What version of MODx are you using?
Usually you would do an advanced installation (a separate version of MODx). You can move the existing MODx install to your sub-directory but you will need to update all of the config.core.php files and MODX_CORE_PATH constants to reflect this. You will also need to leave and update at least the index.php file in your web root directory. The config files that would need updating include:
config.inc.php
manager/config.inc.php
connectors/config.inc.php
core/config/config.inc.php
core/config/config.inc.php is the most important file and you will want to make sure ALL of the paths listed in there are correct.
The file browser will work fine providing you check all the URL and filesystem paths are correct in the Manager settings.
Change your .htaccess setting:
RewriteBase /subfoldername/
and install it as typically you do.

Can't find a valid editor for this file extension

I've changed Extensions.txt in
Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Dreamweaver CS5.5\Configuration
And I've changed MMDocumentTypes.xml in
Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Dreamweaver CS5.5\Configuration\Document Types
But I'm still getting "Can't find a valid editor for this file extension".
in dreamwaver just go to
Edit > Preferences > File Types/Editors
you will find .js .asa .css .inc .txt .as .asc .asr .htaccess .htpasswd
add your extension at the end to be like this
.js .asa .css .inc .txt .as .asc .asr .htaccess .htpasswd .lng
my additional extension here was .lng file.
it really saved me a lot of time.thanks
in dreamwaver just go to Edit > Preferences > File Types/Editors
you will find .js .asa .css .inc .txt .as .asc .asr .htaccess
.htpasswd add your extension at the end to be like this
This worked like a charm. Wish I would have found this two hours ago.
Dreamweaver's configuration work with the user folder taking precedence. Typically, at least one of the files that you mention have copies in the user's configuration folder. So if they are present they will be used not the ones in the application configuration folder.
The Adobe technote that describes how to add a file extensions ( http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/164/tn_16410.html ) lists the user configuration folder under the edits to the Extensions.txt file. Also, while that technote states to edit the MMDocumentTypes.xml file in the application folder, make sure you don't have a copy in your user folder. There are some circumstances where there will be a copy in the user folder and if so, you have to make changes to the user configuration folder copy, not the application configuration folder version.

Edit php.ini with .htaccess

I'm slowly getting back into PHP, and now I run into a problem, I want to install some web software on our host and I need to have either the latest Zend (which they don't have) or IonCube on the server and IonCube requires enable_dl to be on in the php.ini. Now a colleague of mine thinks I can update this via an .htaccess file on the server. So I created a s.htaccess on my machine as Windows doesn't like emptiness before the file extension. So I added the line php_flag enable_dl On to the file uploaded it and renamed the file to just .htaccess on the server. When I refresh the file is gone, when I keep it as s.htaccess it's fine but my php info still shows it as Off.
What n00b mistake am I making?
The documentation says that this can only be set in the php.ini (not in .htaccess). You can see this by looking at the table where it says "PHP_INI_SYSTEM", which means - "Entry can be set in php.ini or httpd.conf".
Unix way to hide files is prepending it with a dot. The file is there, but it's just hidden. Your ftp-software should have a setting for showing hidden files. IIRC you can rename the file to .htaccess through cmd in windows. The .htaccess only has effect in the current dir and sub directories. This might also be (because of security) one of those settings that is only setable through php.ini
