.htaccess & Invalid Hash

Server
1

See info below. My questions are:

1 - What is the correct file permission for the .htaccess file? After each upgrade I have to copy and past the .htaccess Rewrite Rule info at the end of the .htaccess file to get short urls. I’m wondering is this is because I have incorrect permissions set on my .htaccess file prior to upgrades?

I’m also wondering is this is why I’m getting the Invalid Hash error on my .htaccess file?

anyone have any ideas why and how to correct?

thanks!

Hey,

maybe the following documentation helps you on how to correctly configure your config.php to enable short URLs?

Thank you. that is helpful and I hadn’t seen that particular documentation before. I was able to correct the problem by recopying the .htaccess file to my directory from a new download and then making my alterations at the bottom of the new file.

Hello,
I have exactly the same problem.
Is there a guide here on how to fix the problem? Can I just copy in a new htaccess? It would be very helpful if there were step-by-step instructions. I probably can’t access the file with a file browser, right?

It’s still exactly how @ishmot wrote four years ago.

  • Download the tarball with the EXACT version you have in use.
  • Extract the .htaccess file from there.
  • Replace your existing .htaccess by that file.
