How to edit .htaccess?

Hello everybody,

I have tried to add the following in my .htaccess file as mentioned in the setup instruction:
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .htm .html

After adding, my site gave 500 internal server error.

So please tell me how do i edit my .htaccess file?

Does removing that line fix the error? Was there an existing and needed .htaccess file that you overwrote by accident? Are you using a text editor that creates good clean files?

Yes, removing the line fixes that error. I had an already existing .htaccess file, which I opened in dreamweaver and added the AddType line. When I saved the changes, the site gave 500 Internal Server Error.

I then reverted back the changes and site started working perfectly.

I am not able to put the ad coop ads on my site yet due to this. Please suggest.

 

Do it via cpanel

 

Hello,

I have tried everything. I have tried editing it in cpanel, using FTP, created new, etc. etc.

After adding the AddType line my site gives Internal Server Error 500. And as I remove this line, the error goes away.

Please suggest.

I have also same problem. So please tell me how do i edit my .htaccess file?

 

Are you having the problem trying to use the coop on html pages using the passthru method? If so, try this for the .htaccess file:

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