HTACCESS TUTORIAL

Creating an HTACCESS File Difficulty: If you are not sure how to go about creating an HTACCESS file then this tutorial is a must read, quite simply all other tutorials on this page are pointless if you do not know how to create your very own .htaccess file.   Custom Error Pages Difficulty: One of the most popular uses of HTACCESS is to create your own custom error pages. This tutorial will cover the various error codes and how to create a custom error page for each of them, whether it is a 404 error, 500 error or any of the various other errors. Denying Website Access Difficulty: Previously we have talked about blocking access to your website by using a PHP script to check the users IP against the ones we want blocked. This tutorial attempts to teach you an easy way to accomplish this same effect but with the use of a few simple lines in your .htaccess file. Change Default Index Files Difficulty: By default most webhosts set you up to have the index.html or index.php file act as the default index file when no other file is specified after your domain name. This tutorial will teach you how to change that to start.php or myindex.php (for example). Custom Extension Difficulty: Learn how to make your files have your own custom extension, like index.next. Redirecting Difficulty: By using .htaccess you can redirect a users request to a whole other file, or even better, a whole other website, and all instantly. This tutorial will show you example how to accomplish this task.
