.htaccess problems (4 posts)

    Recently I've been trying to locate my .htaccess file.

    However I cannot see it anywhere in my sites root folder. I've even checked the settings for some kind of 'show hidden files' preference. Yet I can't find anything.

    I tried to create a new .htaccess yet it said that one already exists in the root folder. Yet theres nothing there.

    Then I really messed things up by uploading a new .htaccess file. As soon as I clicked upload, it vanished from my root folder. I have no idea how to view it again. It must be somewhere.

    Now I get an internal server error when going on my site. Great!

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    you may want to contact your hosting provider.

    Yeah all sorted now. Contacted my hosting provider. Was using the wrong file manager, therefore couldn't see the .htaccess file. Not sure why they give you two options of file manager if ones obsolete but oh well.

    You can go ahead and close this topic if you want.

    Thanks.
