Working with Dynamic Configuration Files

For Unix:
Init fn="load-modules” funcs=”htaccess-init,htaccess-find”\
shlib=”server_root/plugins/htaccess/htaccess.so”
Init fn=”htaccess-init”
For Windows NT:
Init fn="load-modules" funcs="htaccess-init,htaccess-find" \
shlib="server_root/plugins/htaccess/bin/htaccess.dll"
Init fn="htaccess-init"
These lines load and initialize the module when the server is started.
server_root
is the path to your server root.
To activate
.htaccess
file processing for all directories managed by the
server, add the
PathCheck
directive:
PathCheck fn="htaccess-find"
to the default server object, which is delimited by:
<Object name="default"
...
</Object
Generally, the directive to activate
.htaccess
processing should be the last
PathCheck
directive in the object.
To activate
.htaccess
file processing for particular server directories, place
the
PathCheck
directive in the corresponding object definition in
obj.conf
.
If you want to name your
.htaccess
files something other than
.htaccess
,
you must specify the filename in the
PathCheck
directive using the following
format:
PathCheck fn="htaccess-find" filename="filename"
Replace
filename
with the filename you are using.
After editing the configuration file, stop and start your server. Apply your
configuration file changes in the Enterprise Server by clicking the Apply button.
Subsequent accesses to the server will be subject to
.htaccess
access control
in the specified directories.
