#FAQ

What is a .htaccess file? ▾

A .htaccess file is a configuration file used by Apache web servers. It allows you to configure redirects, URL rewrites, access control, caching, and other server behaviors on a per-directory basis without modifying the main server configuration.

What are the most common .htaccess directives? ▾

The most common directives include RewriteRule (URL rewriting), Redirect/RedirectMatch (redirects), Header (custom headers), ExpiresActive (caching), and mod_deflate directives (compression). Always test changes as syntax errors can cause 500 errors.
