    Hi,
    So I have two HTACCESS files on the same repertory (root), which one is taken into account ?
    One is named .htaccess and the other one ht.access, does anyone know why and which one do I delete/use?

    Thanks !

      ht.access is there by default, a sample of code you should use should you need that file.
      Looks like someone already duplicated it and renamed it to a name that the server can use.

      .htaccess is in use
      ht.access is useless - deletable!
