htaccess Configuration per Directory

[hdlee]

Is it allowable in Dathorn?

I want to be able to set different configuration for directories. Say, all .html files should be processed as .php in directory "directory".

Is htaccess configuration per directory allowable?

Thanks.

Yes you have htaccess at Dathorn and Apache will look for htaccess file in all directories in the file path. Never used <Directory> block in a htaccess file but I think you can do what you described even with out it.

One of the moderators here posted a example .htaccess file for
putting PHP in .htm or .html files (you can adjust for any file name):

Thanks

That was fast.

I am looking forward to be a customer real soon, hopefully next week.

It is very important for me, I need that feature because:
1. My blog (WordPress) needs ModRewrite to convert dynamic URL into
search engine friendly URL.
2. I need to embed PHP command into .htm and .html, or omit extension overall.

and many others I can't even think of right now because of the cold.

Thanks again!

Oh and we got a good community
IMHO thats a huge bonus

As for using mod rewrite and embedding PHP into .htm and .html,
I've done both so that should not be a problem

Jonathan, would you mind posting your mod rewrite code, I just put some in my .htaccess but it doesn't seem to be working, and I'm not all that good with mod rewrite anyway ...

Anyway, thanks if you don't mind!

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .htm .html .shtml

^^ That's all I use, but right now I can't
seem to get it to work with the extention ".GD" that I was trying to use.

i use above code, and from the link you gave to me too. even use the same .htaccess I use on the other webhost. but it won't work.

when i tried with a file, even with phpinfo.html, which contain only the following line:

<? phpinfo(); ?>

and monitor the error log, it said:

[2005-01-04 21:28:34]: error: file has no execute permission: (/home/xstopeb3/public_html/trydir/phpinfo.html)

[Tue Jan 4 21:37:37 2005] [error] [client 203.160.233.26] Premature end of script headers: /home/xstopeb3/public_html/trydir/phpinfo.html

You can access the file here:

http://www.1stopestore.com/trydir/phpinfo.html

the "trydir" contain:

.htaccess:

AddType application/x-httpd-php .html .php .htm

phpinfo.html:

<? phpinfo(); ?>

That's all.

Hope that it's clear. Thanks for your time.

P.S. I should've probably mention that the file is created under linux vi command (from an ssh terminal session right on the server). Using the DOS format, it won't work also.

P.P.S. I've tried to change the permission of files to 755 too, but it doesn't make any sense if I have to do this. Another thing, it runs properly from php command line. $ php trydir/phpinfo.html give the right output.

I've solved the problem. I add this to the .htaccess:

SetHandler application/x-httpd-php

Don't know why I need to do this, it works without it in my other web host running linux and openbsd.

anyway, it works now.

odd The code I posted worked fine for me.
Glad to see you got it to work for you
