Subject: Re: [cobalt-developers] frontpage That's probably because by default on the Raq's there is no
.htaccess folder to begin with. Also, whenever I've tried creating a .htaccess
file by any other means than telnet, the file never gets created (ie I can't ftp
a .htaccess file into a directory, nor can I ftp a file over, then rename it to
.htaccess). This was probably implimented for security reasons, as it is
possible to disable cgiwrap from a .htaccess file.
There's the why...as far as the fix, you can do one of two
things: telnet in and create the .htaccess file yourself, or tell your customer
that they are not permitted to use .htaccess restrictions for security reasons
and that they should find another way to password protect their site (namely,
use a cgi script that reads from a private directory).
I suppose you could also give the user telnet access, but of
course this is a huge security risk.
