.htaccess, one or i can have two files?

hello

my main site is running on my root www.mydomain.com

and now i added a blog to it

www.mydomain.com/blog/

i have already an .htaccess for my first application on the root, i want to use permlinks in wordpress.

do i need to create a new .htaccess in the /blog/ folder, or i have to modify the root .htaccess?

 

you can have 2 files or you can modfiy/addon to your root one
but of course you may have to change path sometimes

 

If you use cPanel..and your host provide you the option of redirect..than you can esily do it in your cpanel.

 

I dont think he wish to redirect. Just want to add new rules for blog .htaccess.

-----

To OP are you talking about wordpress htaccess or perma links and such?
yeah put it in root.

 

You'll need to use a new .htaccess file for the sub directory.

Create a blank .htaccess file and upload it to /blog/ and chmod it to 777 and let WP generate it for you.
