.htaccess help needed

I'm trying to add a script and it requires >>> .HTACCESS

Now I was told by hosting support to just add a .htaccess the same way you do a normal file and add script but it doesn't work and each time I get error so I removed it. Can anyone help?


Also, with www.mysitex.com it has PR5 but with mysitex.com only w/out www it reads PR0 ... help needed here too.

Please.

 

Here are some threads related to your problem. Hope it might be helpful.

Thanks caj. I'll look into it.

 

just upload a plain txt file and then rename it .htaccess
some servers do not allow you to upload a .htaccess file because it sees the extention as being wrong so causes an error
all extentions are .123 letters but htaccess is .12345678 letters

 

Thanks Samantha ... I hope I don't get any infractions on this one. btw, is that your last name pia?. it sounds Hawaiian.

 

Hi Buzz,

If it's a linux server, it ALL needs to be in lower case
ie : .htaccess not .HTACCESS

if it's not all in lower case, it won't work.
