HTAccess File For Downlaods
Posted: October 17th, 2010, 5:24 pmThe HTAccess file in the downloads folder dont seem to work. Users can still access the file by putting in the direct URL to the file.
Please try changing your .htaccess file to this:
- Code: Select all
order allow,deny
deny from all
If you still have trouble, check your Apache server configuration
to make sure you have these lines in your httpd.conf file for Apache.
- Code: Select all
AllowOverride All
AccessFileName .htaccess
Also, please be sure ONE of the following Apache modules are enabled in your server configuration.
mod_access ( for Apache 1.3 - 2.0 )
https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/de/mo ... ccess.html
mod_authz_host ( for Apache 2.1+ )
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mo ... _host.html
If you're on a Windows server running IIS instead of Apache, none of this will help. Windows servers running IIS will need to install a web.config file to replace the .htaccess file normally intended for Linux/Unix based operating systems. See: http://learn.iis.net/page.aspx/557/tran ... webconfig/
