Setup For .htm/.html files question

[fisher318]

Hey, I found the thread (http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=5659) for installing on a site using .htm & .html files. I added this code to the .htaccess:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} ^(.*).htm [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} ^(.*).html [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*) /passthru.php?file=$1
</IfModule>

and also uploaded the required passthru.php file. Now when I go to my site I get this:

Forbidden
You don't have permission to access / on this server.

Apache/1.3.27 Server at www.lendinghandsmortgage.com Port 80

Try removing:

RewriteBase /

and see if that works for you.

Ok, my server company finally got back to me and gave me this:

To turn mod_rewrite on, please put this at the top of your .htaccess file Options All RewriteEngine on

The AddType directive you're using is not correct. Please use this instead. AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .html .htm

Ok, so now it worked and I have 1 add on my first page at www.awesome-home-business-opportunity.com.

For the .htaccess file I put: AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .html .htm

My question is would it be easier to try and turn the mod_rewrite on and won't it automatically add the ads to all of my pages? While doing it the way I just did I have to add the php code to every page manually correct? any light on this subject will be great!

Got to be worth a go.

If it doesn't work you'll just have to it the hard way.

Ok, in regards to this:

To turn mod_rewrite on, please put this at the top of your .htaccess file Options All RewriteEngine on

The AddType directive you're using is not correct. Please use this instead. AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .html .htm

Would I add "Options All RewriteEngine on" to the top of my htaccess file that contains this code:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} ^(.*).htm [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} ^(.*).html [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*) /passthru.php?file=$1
</IfModule>

[Patient]

I would try:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
Options All
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} ^(.*).htm [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} ^(.*).html [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*) /passthru.php?file=$1
</IfModule>

and if that didn't work:

Options All
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} ^(.*).htm [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} ^(.*).html [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*) /passthru.php?file=$1
</IfModule
