default .htaccess

[Fedlerner]

When x10hosting gives you the host, it cames with a .htaccess

# -FrontPage-

IndexIgnore .htaccess */.??* *~ *# */HEADER* */README* */_vti*

<Limit GET POST>
order deny,allow
deny from all
allow from all
</Limit>
<Limit PUT DELETE>
order deny,allow
deny from all
</Limit>
AuthName www.easymoney.x10hosting.com
AuthUserFile /home/fedlerne/public_html/_vti_pvt/service.pwd
AuthGroupFile /home/fedlerne/public_html/_vti_pvt/service.grp

That's what my .htaccess has...

I want to install a script that needs an .htaccess....
The script has this code in the .htaccess

Options All -Indexes
DirectoryIndex index.php index.htm index.html

# -------------------------------------------
# Start of NukeSentinel(tm) admin.php Auth
# -------------------------------------------
<Files .ftaccess>
  deny from all
</Files>

<Files .staccess>
  deny from all
</Files>

<Files admin.php>
   <Limit GET POST PUT>
      require valid-user
   </Limit>
   AuthName "Restricted"
   AuthType Basic
   AuthUserFile /path/to/your/.staccess
</Files>

# -------------------------------------------
# Start of NukeSentinel(tm) DENY FROM area
# -------------------------------------------

Is the .htaccess given by x10hosting necessary? If it is, can i put both codes in the .htaccess and it won't mess up ? Should i put the one of the NukeSentilen first?

Thanks,
fedlerner

That default .htaccess is actually used to protect directories which are used by Front Page extensions. So, if you're not using them it's safe to remove it.

[Fedlerner]

hmmmmmmm..
I don't know what do you mean by frontpage extensions :P
I just use HTML, PHP & MySQL :P

[Torch]

Simply put, if you're not using Front Page to make and publish your website, you don't need that 'default' .htaccess ;)

[Fedlerner]

Ok!
Thanks for your help Torch!

You can add the 'new' info to the current .htaccess file as well. It doesn't matter the order. As long as you don't have 2 identical commands in there your fine.

the frontpage directories start with an underscore.
