.htaccess – Wikipedia

.htaccess (Hypertext Access) is the default name of Apache’s directory-level configuration file. It provides the ability to customize configuration directives defined in the main configuration file. The configuration directives need to be in .htaccess context and the user needs appropriate permissions.

Statements such as the following can be used to configure a server to send out customized documents in response to client errors such as “404: Not Found” or server errors such as “503: Service Unavailable” (see List of HTTP status codes):

ErrorDocument 404 /error-pages/not-found.html
ErrorDocument 503 /error-pages/service-unavailable.html

When setting up custom error pages, it is important to remember that these pages may be accessed from various different URLs, so the links in these error documents (including those to images, stylesheets and other documents) must be specified using URLs that are either absolute (e.g., starting with “http://”) or relative to the document root (starting with “/”). Also, the error page for “403: Forbidden” errors must be placed in a directory that is accessible to users who are denied access to other parts of the site. This is typically done by making the directory containing the error pages accessible to everyone by creating another .htaccess file in the /error-pages directory containing these lines:

Order allow,deny
Allow from all

Contents
[hide]

1 Password protection

1.1 Password unprotection
1.2 Extra secure method to force a domain to only use SSL and fix double login problem

2 Enable SSI
3 Deny users by IP address
4 Change the default directory page
5 Redirects
6 Prevent hotlinking of images

6.1 From specific domains
6.2 Except from specific domains

7 Standardise web address to require www with SEO-friendly 301 Redirect
8 Directory rules
9 User permissions
10 Other uses
11 See also
12 External links

Password protection
Make the user enter a name and password before viewing a directory.

AuthUserFile /home/newuser/www/stash/.htpasswd
AuthGroupFile /dev/null
AuthName “Protected Directory”
AuthType Basic
<Limit GET POST>
require user newuser
</Limit>

The same behavior…

Access Control
The restriction of access to network realms. In an Apache context usually the restriction of access to certain URLs.See: Authentication, Authorization, and Access Control

APache eXtension Tool (apxs)

A Record
An A Record, short for Address Record, allows a numeric ipaddress to map to a more human-readable domain. An A Record may also be referred to as a host or hostname.

Authoritative Nameserver
A nameserver which has been configured to provide answers for a specific domain, rather than simply getting and caching data about domains from other nameservers.

Authentication
The positive identification of a network entity such as a server, a client, or a user.See: Authentication, Authorization, and Access Control
