any way to know if .htaccess is enable? I cannot read the httpd.conf file in my shared server.
I have access through ssh. My hosting provider uses cPanel Accelerated.

What about just putting a .htaccess somewhere which alters some readily-observable settings and look whether they have been changed or not?
Try uploading a sample .htaccess file (e.g. with a single simple redirect rule) and check if it works.

I am writing some php scripts that I am using for personal reasons. One thing I noticed that if I type in the directory on the browser I am able to see all files in the directory.
How can I prevent the browser from viewing any of the files in a directory? I want to be able to send requests to the server and let the server run the script. Can someone point me in the right direction? Should I configure the .htaccess file? If so, what should I be looking for?
FYI: I am on a shared hosted server.
the fast way to do that creat .htaccess ex: under /public_html/
and put this code inside it
Options -Indexes

I'm trying to hide the directory listing of my website.
I'm currently working on a website hosted by 'hostinger'.
I know that i should change something in an apache-related file, but they(hostinger) say that
i cannot change that. cuz im using a 'shared' hosting service.
so the only way is to add some code in an .htaccess file.
RewriteEngine On
Options -Indexes
this is my current situation in my .htaccess file.
i've googled the info on how to do it, but it keeps listing my directory.
is there any way that i can prevent it?
or is it just impossible to accomplish with a shared hosting service?
Try this , prevent or allow the server to display the index of the files in the folders of your web server.
You can put a .htaccess file in each of your directory with this code
Options All -Indexes
I've been developing a website on a local web server and I'm pretty happy with it. I'm about ready to deploy it but I've been looking at how to limit folder access via htaccess. My concern is I grab some php variables from a document on the web server and I'm worried that by denying htaccess ill also prevent the php file from reading and writing to this document. Is this the case? If so how would I go about setting up a hierarchy in which my php can read and write to my document but people can't access the folder that its in?
.htaccess is a means to configure a server on a per-directory basis.
If you are going to be writing files using PHP, then it is going to be doing so using the file system (unless you are using HTTP PUT or similar, but you'd know if you were), so the server configuration is irrelevant.
Apache will simply forward your requests to the PHP interpreter. Once the request is past Apache, all rewrites/folder restrictions have already been validated, which means PHP never knows about them (and it shouldn't).
Htaccess is a webserver restriction, if you can access the page, then PHP doesn't care if you have it or not, so you can fopen / edit your files from PHP without problems. Of course if you write your file to a (different) directory that is htaccess protected, the user will have to insert the password to read it
I want to do some very basic .htaccess stuff like block a directory by IP address. I know why this problem is happening, I just don't know how to fix it. I've read every post I can and there doesn't seem to be a consensus on how to fix it. Railo/Tomcat is grabbing control of the page before .htaccess rules are applied.
I am running Centos with Railo / Tomcat / Apache. I believe I am using mod_cfml, at least that's what's under the connector folder.
I have tried putting my .htaccess files in httpd.conf without any luck. I'm not sure I was doing that correctly, but I dropped the code into the virtual domain section of the site I'm working on.
Has anyone got this to work properly?
On iis you can change the order modules run which would solve that issue Asbyou would tell the htaccess module to run before mod_cfml
Can you do that on Apache?
what is htaccess file? how to create and write that? what is the advantage of using htaccess file?
.htaccess files provide a way to make configuration changes on a per-directory basis. See the official Apache documentation for .htaccess files.
.htaccess allows you to override Apache's (and other servers') main configuration file for a particular directory (and all its subdirectories). To use .htaccess you simply create a new file and name it ".htaccess" (yes, the name is very unusual because it actually consist of only a very long file extension), upload it to you server (if you want to affect your entire site than put is in your root folder), and finally add some directives.
If you wand to see what sort of things you can configure with .htaccess check out this very accessible tutorial: 5 most useful applications of the .htaccess file.
For something more comprehensive visit guide .htaccess.
Hope this helps
This is majorly used for configuration on server the generally things involve in usage are following.
-(redirecting server to specific file)
Redirect permanent /index.html (new path)
