.htaccess question

[StevenB]

Hi all,

Almost done with our new zencart . My last task is to add the recommended code from the Wiki and Tut's to the .htaccess.

Is it simply a matter of adding the code:

 #.htaccess to prevent unauthorized directory browsing or access to .php files
  IndexIgnore */*
  <Files *.php>
   Order Deny,Allow
   Deny from all
  </Files>
 
  <Files *.txt>
   Order Deny,Allow
   Deny from all
  </Files>

or does it need to be written diffrently?

I also read somewhere that .htaccess files protect all files and folders in that directory and all files and folders below it. The Wiki/Tuts recommend placing it in every folder that has an index.html file. Which is he correct method?

Thanks for any help on this and all of the previouse help,

Steve

add the statements as they are...

If your shop is at the root you only need one htaccess at the root as this is the only index page for your site unless you also have other apps loaded in other folders
