I've been successfully operating a web site for a while now, hosted by an ISP. I'm escaping blocks of PHP code from .html files, and have been using the following .htaccess file to force php to parse these files. I've also been using .htaccess to help make my URL's more user-friendly:
AddType application/x-httpd-php .html <Files articles> ForceType application/x-httpd-php </Files> My ISP has just updated and reconfigured their Apache server, and my .htaccess file has stopped working altogether. Every request for *.html or "articles" returns an Internal Server Error. I assume the problem is that httpd.conf is now configured differently than it used to be, and the AllowOverride setting is preventing my .htaccess file from working. The ISP isn't fully acknowledging that this is the problem, but they do say they're unwilling to change any of their settings due to security concerns. My questions: 1. Is this necessarily a problem with AllowOverride? Or could there be some other explanation? Anything I can do without help from my ISP? 2. Since my ISP has very little interest in helping, can anyone recommend a web hosting service who provides php and mysql, allows ssh telnet access to the command prompt, supports users' .htaccess files, and generally understands and supports the needs of php developers? Any referrals are greatly appreciated. Thanks, Terry -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
