What is .htaccess?
.htaccess is a configuration file used by Apache web servers to control directory-specific settings. It can redirect URLs, protect directories with passwords, set custom error pages, block IPs, enable compression, and modify various server behaviors without editing the main server configuration.
How to Use This .htaccess Generator
Select the features you need (URL rewriting, redirects, authentication, caching, etc.). Configure the options for each feature. Click Generate to create the .htaccess file content. Copy and paste it into your web directory.
▶Where do I put the .htaccess file?
Place it in the directory where you want the rules to apply. For site-wide rules, put it in the document root (public_html, www, or htdocs).
▶Why isn't my .htaccess working?
Common causes: AllowOverride is disabled in Apache config, file permissions are wrong, mod_rewrite is not enabled, or there's a syntax error in the file. Check Apache error logs for details.
▶Can I use .htaccess with nginx?
No. nginx does not support .htaccess. You need to convert the rules to nginx configuration format. Use the htaccess-to-nginx converter tool for this.
