Deoctor Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 .htaccess files (or "distributed configuration files") provide a way to make configuration changes on a per-directory basis. A file, containing one or more configuration directives, is placed in a particular document directory, and the directives apply to that directory, and all subdirectories thereof.

Deoctor Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 hai There is nothing to be executed from the file by the user end, This file would be recognized by the server itself and do the necessary actions. go through this document from the Apache http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/howto/htaccess.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monkeytooth Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 .htaccess is not a project file, its a server file that tells the server what to do in certain events (thats the short and gritty version of it). Your project and executing it well thats a whole nother concept. You need a hosting account or you need to set up a local dev enviroment on your PC xampp I hear is a decent localized server if your on a windows machine. http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html After that, whats you projects coded language? PHP, ASP, Ruby, JavaScript, Other? A combination of all the above? You really havent posed any questions here for us to help you with. This form is for people to help others with generalize coding questions ie: you write a script, its broken you can't figure out why, you come here, hopefully someone here can help you. Actually i just noticed you said your using "php,mysql,apache server" sounds like you have your "test server" already. Apache is a web server. Back to the how to process the execution of your code/script put it in your root hosting folder and navigate to it with your browser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monkeytooth Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 The error means your file path is wrong. and is returning in concept a "File Not Found" error.. the path would be dependant upon your server settings.. commonly http://localhost/folder_name or http://127.0.0.1/folder_name folder_name being the name of the folder you want to go to thats in the root. Assuming of course this is a local server and not a web server Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
