RCP and the htaccess file requires
Mod_Rewrite to be ON!
AllowOverride All Yes the RCP .htaccess file is
using few required Mod_Rewrite code lines. This
requires that the module mod_rewrite is
installed and turned ON, on your website server.
On most servers it is standard enabled. If not
then clients with a dedicated server can enable
mod_rewrite them self. People with virtual
hosting accounts must contact there hosting
company and request them to turn it on for you
and also have them check if in the apache
config.file the next line is ON:AllowOverride
All. Even when mod rewrite is installed and on
with out permission for AllowOverride All it
will still not work.
Mod_Rewrite is a apache module that 90% is
standard installed on all servers. Unfortually
it is not always turned ON by default. The mod
rewrite code lines in the RCP .htaccess file
will activate the RCP scripts when needed. RCP
can not work correctly without Mod_Rewrite!
it‚s required that mod rewrite is turned on
in the apache config file and your site has the
permission to use it all over your site. For
help or advise contact RCP support.

Explain the use of the RCP .htaccess
file.
Next from the scripts files, themplates and
images is RCP using his own required .htaccess
file. First backup your own old .htaccess file.
Then you must replace your own htaccess file
with the RCP .htaccess or if you do not have a
.htaccess file then simply upload the RCP
.htaccess file to your web folder (same folder
that contains your index.html).
The RCP .htaccess file is part of the RCP brain.
It will activates RCP when needed. RCP will not
work without the htaccess file. The htaccess
file contains a few lines that are required and
are standard turned on. The RCP .htaccess file
contains also many other useful coding that can
be turned on by removing the #-# signals in
front of the code. It contains extra code to
stop hotlinking, stop script abuse, Custom ban
rules, stop bad sites from linking to your site
and other tricks. Each section in the .htacces
file is separated by lines and each part has his
own number. On this page we will explain the use
of each section in the .htaccess file.

Caution is always needed with modifying
.htaccess files.
All .htaccess require caution when you modify
the code inside. Always make a backup (
duplicate) the .htaccess file before you modify
any coding. One space to mush in a code line or
one missing or wrong character can result in a
International Server Error. Wish means your
wesbite ain't loading at all. So be careful when
you edit your .htaccess file. All ways edit the
.htacces file in a plain text editor. Its always
wise to have a copy of your current working RCP
.htaccess file on your desktop or HD.
If your not sure how to turn on/off certain
parts in your RCP .htaccess file or were to
include your own code contact RCP support for
free help and advise.

.htaccess contains the order allow, deny allow
from all coding. NO lines need to be changed
required by RCP. How ever in some cahses you
might want to deny access "Permanently"
to a given IP or Domain. Normally you should use
the RCP admin area (orange button) to add a
manually permanent IP ban. How ever if you open
the .htaccess file in a plain text editor and
type a domain or IP in the deny from
fields in section (1) it will become a permanent
ban as well. Samples:
deny from 120.65.345.34
deny from SomeDorkSite.com
If a banned visitor tries to access the
specified location they will be seeing the 403
Forbidden message or they are forwarded to your
custom Access Error Page
