    Hello everyone, right now I'm trying to protect my phpbb3 forum. Meaning I only want logged-in users to see the content. However I'm getting this message.

    File exists and contains non-aMember code unmodifiable by aMember. If you don't need this file, delete it and aMember will automatically create a new aMember compatible .htaccess file to replace it.

    and I'm using the new_rewrite method.

    I'm looking at the root folder of phpbb3 and I see no .htmaccess from my ftp program. Where is it located?

    Thank you.

    Perhaps your FTP program doesnt show hidden files?
    Check the preferences. you may need to manually add -la (list all)

    Yeah you're right. thanks I managed to delete them. I was using filezilla. Didn't see it there. Had to use webftp.
