Why the .HTACCESS is not here??

Post by silent_thunder »

I looked the beta package and found no .htaccess file in the installation folder??

So why is the .htaccess file not here? where it is there in the default phpbb3 package
Is it safe to use the Modphpbb3 software package without .htaccess aint it make the forum vulnerable

Add this to a txt file and save as .htaccess uploading to the root.

Code: Select all

<Files "config.php">
Order Allow,Deny
Deny from All
</Files>

<Files "common.php">
Order Allow,Deny
Deny from All
</Files>
You shouldn't of had write permissions to those files anyway so they are safe.
