contents of .htaccess file

[sparklefish]

Hi

My hosting company has the "Register Globals" setting ON. I've looked through a few posts in this forum and it has been recommended to add the following code to .htaccess file in the site root:

php_value session.use_trans_sid off
php_value register_globals off
<Files ".ht*">
deny from all
</Files>

However, when I do this I get an Internal Server error page displayed. I get this if I remove the <Files ... /Files> too. See http://www.sparklefish.co.uk/index.php. Incidentally the .htaccess file is located in public_html/ and is 644.

What am I doing wrong?

Some hosts don't allow you to modify the .htaccess file. And/or if your host has PHPSUExec installed you won't be able to use any php_flag or php_value settings in your .htaccess - they will need to go into a separate php.ini file.

You'll need to ask your host about this
