\nNew Setup Wizard Options Option: Enable|Disable htaccess Files:<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Setup Wizard Enable|Disable htaccess Files Forum Topic<\/a>
\n<\/strong>The BPS Apache Modules and Directives testing code checks if mod_access_compat and\/or mod_authz_core or mod_rewrite are loaded or can be processed (converted\/translated) by your server by using a testing htaccess file and then checking the responses from your server. If BPS detects that your website\/server cannot use htaccess files\/code based on the responses from your website\/server then BPS will automatically save\/set the Setup Wizard Option > Enable|Disable htaccess Files setting to > htaccess Files Disabled. Automation Compatibility: htaccess features and files are automatically disabled if the Apache server does not have the necessary\/required Modules loaded to use htaccess code\/files. If the server type is Windows, Nginx or LiteSpeed and the server does not have the necessary conversion\/translation configuration to use htaccess code\/files then htaccess features and files are automatically disabled. Manual Usage: The Enable|Disable htaccess Files Option can be used to manually override the automated BPS Apache Modules and Directives checking code to manually disable or enable all BPS htaccess features. See the Setup Wizard Enable|Disable htaccess Files Forum Topic link above for details.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
