Alternative To .htaccess - .htaccess

I am trying to build mu first web application with yii
From what I understood a .htaccess file must be in the project folder
in the localhost every things work fine, but when I upload the whole project my remote server doesn't accept .htaccess files and I get 404 not found (server error not yii error)
there is an alternative to this problem ?
many thanks in advance

There is no alternative when using a Front Controller pattern. Only on the http server you can redirect all wanted requests to a single central point. It is weird though that you cannot use .htaccess.
One more question: are you using apache or something else as a web server? Because .htaccess is apache specific to the best of my knowledge, for other servers you need differend configuration in differend other places.

Point client domain to our subdomain

We are currently developing a CMS for our clients. We would like to host all their pages on our server like this:
https://www.example.com/client1website or https://www.example.com/client2website.
Is there a simple way to redirect content from https://www.example.com/client1website to https://www.theirdomain.com?
I know that Heroku or Wix work in a similar way, but I don't really know how to achieve it. Setting the CNAME for www to https://www.exmaple.com/client2website is probably not enough?
Godaddy can do https://www.client1website.example.com to https://www.theirdomain.com
But otherwise they are going to need to stop at your server first since you are pointing them down into your directory
You can redirect using status code 308

URL rewrite/redirect through FTP-access in ASP4.0 / IIS8.0?

I am to redirect some URLs from an old site to a new site on a different domain name. Normally I would do this editing/uploading a .htaccess file on Apache servers. Piece of cake.
Now, I've been given FTP-access to the old server.
However, its a ASP4.0 / IIS8.0 server and I cannot use the .htaccess-method it seems.
My questions therefore: is there a solution to this through only FTP-access? Should I upload/edit a specific file? I have never worked with ASP-servers.
Help is much appreciated, thanks.

Point IIS8 virtual directory to a different server IP Address?

Here is my issue (keep in mind I am used to linux not windows servers): I have a website domain.com (.asp site) that is hosted on an IIS8 server and then a folder domain.com/folder that needs to point to a different servers IP address that holds a different site (linux server running Magento).
I know personally that a subdomain should have been created and DNS pointed to it correctly like folder.domain.com but I have inherited this issue and am trying to see if a solution is even possible.
Thank you all in advance.
I dont have previlage to comment in your question.! So I commenting here.!
Have you ever crossed symlinks? I hope you need the following link. The question is not clear though.
check this out.

Responding as another team member on this project--
A 301 redirect is not a viable option by nature of Magento's URL request mechanism (if the request didn't originate from the URI set in the config, then redirect to it). We either end up with infinite loops, or IIS rewriting headers to trick Magento in to thinking the request URI is correct and performing a 301 redirect on every resource on the page (and the page itself, of course). This breaks miserably on POST requests.
We must be serving fully-qualified URLs from domain.com/folder/foo-bar.baz.
Switching to Linux is not possible. Please don't suggest what we already want.
Thanks, SO.

How to password protect nodejs application using alternative to htaccess

I have a site hosted in aws with www.domain.com with 2 sub domains test.domain.com and stage.domain.com. I am using MEAN for development, now what i want is to password protected my sub domains test.domain.com and stage.domain.com but in a similar fashion as we do in php using htaccess.
Now i personally like this htaccess approach because in this approach your code for the application will be same, authentication will be added by htaccess. Any idea how to do that in nodejs without altering application code, so that i can remove that in future if i want.
P.S. : Only hints are welcomed.
.htaccess does not alter the code because it's used by the Apache webserver.
Consider that Node.js IS your webserver, so that's where the magic happens (technically, it takes less code to add basicAuth to node than to add htaccess to apache + write the .htacess file).
Something, somewhere has to know that authentication is to be done :).
Here's the link to an easy way to do that in node :

CodeIgniter not working on PHP 4 server without .htaccess availability

Basically i developed my app on a localhost wamp server with PHP 5. ON uploading to the actual host i notice that
The server is running php 4.4.9
Everytime i upload my .htaccess file, the server removes it completely.. seems to not be allowed
When i test out the set all i get is a 404 page not found
Any help on how to make it work on this PHP 4 server?
I did a test with CI 1.7.2, default installation.. works on my local server but when uploaded does not work, does this mean that the server does not support it?
I'm sure this isn't what you want to here, but get a new server. Here are the reasons why:
PHP 4 is no longer well supported. It's insecure.
If the server is removing .htaccess files, they are also unsupported on that server, giving you one more reason to move.
Code Igniter runs best with PHP 5 and with an .htaccess file.
The gist of this is you are going to have to hack your code back into the dark ages to get this to work, and then you will still have pretty URL issues and overall system instability. If you can make the switch, do.
If you cannot use .htaccess files with CodeIgniter, in system/application/config/config.php there is a configuration key called index_page. You need to set that to whatever page you have bootstrapping CodeIgniter (usually /index.php)
Then, make sure all your links that get routed through CI either target index.php/controller/action/params... or utilize the URL helper (with site_url or anchor) to automatically put in the index.php
Joe Mills is exactly right in his answer, though. CI works best with PHP 5 and .htaccess.
See CI URLs and CI URL Helper for documentation.
Well i found out how to fix several things
The issue with .htaccess would be to just not use modrewrite as such i put "query_string" option in my path variavable and this works.
The other issue, which was the major issue was that i was using Datamapper library which is a php 5 only library.
