Greetings, I have one of those video sharing scripts that i would like to protect using aMember Pro. However, the script makes extensive use of .htaccess file in order to function. When I tried to protect it using new_rewrite, it asks me to delete that file first. If I do, then my site won't function. Is there a way around this? Thanks in advanced for your help.
Protect a dummy directory with the same method. Open the .htaccess file created, copy, and add the contents to your current .htaccess you want to maintain. David
Another great tip that I use... If you have multiple applications using data in the .htaccess file (amember + wordpress for example) then once you have the .htaccess file correctly set and working with the rewrite rules for all of the applications make a copy of it in the same directory with a useful name i.e. dot.htaccess.good.19feb2008 That way you'll have a backup of the working .htaccess file just in case you accidentally delete it / one of the applications messes it up later. I generally rename them "dot.htaccess[something]" with the "dot" in front so that the file is visible all the time. .htaccess files are sometimes not shown by some FTP software or via a shell login.
