# htaccess rewrites itself

 * Hey guys,
 * I currently experience a really weird problem on one of my latest projects. All
   of the sudden my htaccess file seems to be kind of broke. When ever I just call
   the permalink options in the admin back end, my htaccess gets instantly rewritten,
   emptying all redirect notes in within the file.
 * The consequence is, that the page itself doesn’t load anymore. My browser says
   something like “Redirect Error: The page redirects in an infinite loop” (Dont
   know the exact phrase in english as my browsers in German).
 * So, when I copy the content of another projects htaccess file into my currents
   project htaccess file, I can call at least the side again just as the admin backend.
   My permalinks are set to default again. But once I call the permalink options
   page again, the htaccess file gets rewritten again.
 * I hope I could make my point clear. Anyone here who knows this problem and might
   have a solution handy?
 * Thanks in advance,
    Marvin
