I have recently downloaded and installed a fresh script right from the authors official website which is similar to a website that I bought a while ago. A quick comparison of the .htaccess file between the two versions I found the differences like this ############# ## part of the original .htacess has <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d RewriteRule ^.*$ - [L] RewriteRule ^admin /admin.php [L] RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L] </IfModule> # However the website I bought has something like this <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L] </IfModule> ############# obviously the two versions are different; something that makes me worry!. I am not good with these stuff so I need your help if you could comment on this whether something is wrong.
The website you bought could be an older version or something if it is the same exact script. Also if they are not the same all of those .htaccess commands are very common ones that are used among almost all sites that use .htaccess. Only real difference i see in the fresh one you just installed is the admin, which doesn't change much except one url. I think as long as your current one works, you are fine.
Thank you, I was worry at the part RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L] but I will let it stay as is then.
