htaccess Guru needed for a job
 

Hi, I'm looking for an expert with htaccess files. Must be familiar with htaccess for ALL server configs. Will pay cash to make up several different htaccess that will work on different systems. Explain it all to me. (I get cunfused easy btw) and then do occasional consulting on custom htaccess for paysites and others. Thanks for your time. :thumbsup :thumbsup :thumbsup

Let's start here: .htaccess is a general configuration file. There are hundreds of directives. Someone could teach you a few basic things that it can do, but no-one can teach you .htaccess in general.

Adultwire , I know htaccess in general, and can make my own. What I'm looking for in particular is someone to put together several htaccess with different directives that work on different systems like Plesk. Plesk uses different directives, etc

Jokke, I don't think it is. I use Plesk and my htaccess will not ban ips if I use the Limit/get post/deny from commands. From what I have been told, Plesk has it's own internal htacces that assumes these commands. I didn't think windows even uses htaccess??

I sense a bit of confusion here. The Plesk Server Administrator (PSA) is merely an interface to the underlying system, which includes your web server. In other words, on a dedicated box, Plesk is used to configure your operating system (such as, Redhat Linux), the web server (hopefully, Apache), and such things as SSL, SSI, PHP, CGI, MySQL, Perl, MS FrontPage, etc.

However, Plesk doesn't determine the behavior of htaccess files- the underlying system and server limit what is possible and their configuration files specify what's implemented of those possibilities and how.

My suggestion would be to install Webmin, from http://www.webmin.com/, which will give you an excellent alternative administration interface. Or at least read the documentation at http://www.swelltech.com/support/documentation.html, which gives a very good oversight on web site administration and configuration files.

As far as your specific problem ("htaccess will not ban ips if I use the Limit/get post/deny from commands"), check to see if your config files have a "Directory" directive that has an "AllowOverride Limit" (with other options, such as "AuthConfig") right after the "Options None" line.

Proud to see someone from my hometown represent with the know how, props to ya...

Im a Westbank Dawg myself.

Yes, I am looking for someone who understands this sort of thing, and can make htaccess for several sites for cash. Gotta be someone out there than needs cash and can do this.

Mail me your wishes and I'll provide you with the proper .htaccess
and/or apache webserver config files...if it's a lot I'll charge if it's
a few....fuck it I'll do it for free :thumbsup
