.htaccess file 1.3.9h ?

[Muzz]

Hello,

Wondering if there should be a .htaccess file in the root of Zen Cart?

Should I have one in there?

using 1.3.9h

[stevesh]

Yes, you should.

Is the .htaccess packaged in the 1.3.9h version?

I don't see it in the root of the install.

Are there suggestions on .htaccess file script for the root directory of shop?

There is no default .htaccess for Zen Cart, which is why you can't find one. Although it is true that one "can" put in a default .htaccess it should only be be done, if and when one is needed. It will probably happen at some point but in the beginning, it is not needed -- for Zen Cart purposes -- and is one less file to worry about.

OK.

I guess I assumed there would be as .htaccess files were bundled in several folders in the package other than the root of shop.

Is there a recommendation for .htaccess script for root dir of shop 1.3.9h?

I want to make the shop as secure as possible.
