Install deletes .htaccess :( [message #14878] Mon, 24 November 2003 04:16 Go to previous message

Hi,

Apparently, partway through the installation process, the script deletes the .htaccess file from the directory I'm installing the script from.

I'm not confortable installing as the webserver in my non-jailed shared hosting environment. However, in order to run scripts under my username at my webhost (pair Networks), I have to add a couple lines to my .htaccess file:

Action application/x-httpd-wphp /cgi-sys/php-cgiwrap/username/php4.cgi
AddType application/x-httpd-wphp .wphp .php

php-cgiwrap is a customised suid wrapper based on http://sourceforge.net/projects/cgiwrap

I can set the Action line in the .htaccess file of my site's document root. However, I don't want to set the AddType line for my entire site. If I set the second line in the .htaccess file for the board install directory, it doesn't work because the file gets deleted.

I've got around this temporarily, but thought that I should report this edge case for a possible future fix.

Thanks,
Jason
