htaccess file
« on: November 15, 2008, 10:11:22 AM »
If I am using a 'Add-On' domain do I need to create a new htaccess file in the new domain directory, and then type in the code as shown in the ASQ manual?

Ditto for the robots.txt file??

My main site has a htaccess file and I also have 3 other 'add on' sites there in the Publec HTML directory. If I edit that htaccess file will it effect my other 3 sites?

Sorry Georg, I'm very non tech and a bit confused.

Hello brand,

If you use your .htaccess, then you need a .htaccess in each dedicated folder belonging to the site/product.

If you're still rather new to this, you can safely leave out messing with .htaccess. Totally ignore it, delete it from the folders.

Its really "only" a minor tweak but nothing essential.


robots.txt:

With robots.txt you can include or disallow any robots/spiders from seeing your sites.

Example:

if you get and activate an addon domain your hosting will always create a folder with the name of the addon domain, in the same folder where the subdomains are. (Usually in public_html)

If your site is mysite.com and you would get an addon domain newsite.com, you would find a folder newsite.com

then you would put everything related to newsite.com into that folder.

I hope i answered your questions?

G.

.htacces is to change multiple page names I guess.
It's very useful for wordpress,joomla or any other good CMS.
