What Should I Know About .htaccess?

The .htaccess file enables you to control aspects of your site such as URL rewriting, custom error pages, password protection, and more. It works directly with your Apache server to make amendments to how it functions, and therefore how your website works. To make the .htaccess file work properly, you ought to put it in the directory you want it to affect. For example, putting it in the root directory will affect the website as a whole, while putting the .htaccess in a subdirectory will only affect the contents of that subdirectory.

Bear in mind that this configuration file has a specific syntax that ought to be followed exactly, as any mistake might affect the function of the server. Therefore, after any change you make on the .htaccess file, test your website to ensure everything works as expected.

Using .htaccess can greatly enhance your site’s functionality and security.
