Make sure its not hidden. Via whatever FTP program you are using, enable the ability to view hidden files.
Oh I have the FTP set to read hidden files. I have followed the DBManager instructions, but the error message has not gone away.
You have to move the file and then rename it to .htaccess from htaccess.txt .
Thanks for the info. I didn’t see the renaming of the file.
I already have an .htaccess file in db backups so I can’t rename the folder to .htaccess. Now what?
the htaccess.txt file is missing and I have my FTP set to show hidden files, where is it? Version 2.50
<Files ~ “.*\..*”>
order allow,deny
deny from all
</Files>
I got this file from an older version, It should work, PS I am using Ver WPMU 2.9.1.1
Create an htaccess file with this in it:
<Files ~ ".*\..*">
order allow,deny
deny from all
</Files>
Place the htacess file in a folder wp-content/backup-db
This should stop the error message.
But didn’t stop the error message for me, though since everything is in the right place, presumably it is safe.
