Hi, It has been suggested that I update the .htaccess file on my latest install of Magento v 1.9.2 using the .htaccess file provided at github here - https://github.com/Creare/magento-htaccess/blob/master/.htaccess#L57 However, I have also ready that I need to be really careful about editing the .htaccess file. Does the above .htaccess file look OK and am I OK to use it to update my own .htaccess file. Cheers Jimbob
Well, it seems decent enough (damn, that file is huge), I don't really know enough about Magento to say anything about it being needed or not, but Magento in itself is a bloated monstrosity, with fairly huge server-costs to run properly, so this might be a good .htaccess to run it off on. I assume you understand that you need to modify that file a little bit, change the yourdomain-bit to your actual domain and such.
Probably - again, the other stuff in that file is mostly running different optimizations based on what your server has available (it checks first, so it should be fairly safe to run), and blocking a bot and such - shouldn't be dangerous, but I suggest keeping a copy of the current .htaccess before testing.
