Hi, I have a directory that is password protected. I was using new_rewrite. I went in to review the folder properties and when I tried to save I received the following error. "RewriteRule doesn't work in .htaccess files on this server", the only way I can protect the file now is htpasswrd. Not sure what happened it was protected and working using rewrite for several months. Any idea on what I need to do to fix this? Thanks Dave
Hi Dave, You might want to contact your webhost to ask about this. They might have changed certain settings or performed certain upgrades that turned "mod_rewrite" off. Lee
If the host says its enabled, it could be a false positive, or is it negative? Anyhow- heres the hack to get around it: https://www.amember.com/forum/showthread.php?t=8488 David
I am having the same issue. Its not necessarily a server issue. I manually pieced together the "new_rewrite" and it works fine. In my case I know its giving a false negative.
