• Settings saved but .htaccess file could not be updated..

    My sites are hosted on 1and1 shared linux and the .htaccess file is in /logs directory by default.

    I tried to copy it to the root- but of course that leads to a 500 error.

    I don’t know what would be involved in rewriting the .htaccess file for the root- but since 1and1 is the largest host in the world, this is probably affecting a lot of users.

    Here is my .htaccess file with some of the info x’ed out:

    Options +Indexes
    Satisfy any
    Order Deny,Allow
    Allow from 172.17.0.0/16
    Allow from 212.227.35.64/27
    Allow from 212.227.34.190
    Deny from all
    RemoveType .html .gif
    AuthType Basic
    AuthName “Access for /logs”
    AuthUserFile /xxxxxx/homepages/43/xxx2056437/htpasswd
    require user xxx066699

    Any help?

    Update: I moved WordPress to the root (it had been in a subdirectory) and Stealth apparently created its own .htaccess file… says it is updated… but never seems to work.

    The .htaccess file just reads:

    # BEGIN WordPress# END WordPress

    I have changed the file permissions to allow read/write/execute access for everyone (777) on this file, and refreshed/retried several but the plugin still isn’t working.

    Its says: Settings saved and .htaccess file updated.

    But there is no .htaccess Output at the bottom

    What is going on?

    Update: 2.6.1 and login slug gives 404

    Plugin has been updated for better htaccess support and error reporting. Let me know if it helps or not.
