Enable AllowOverride

AllowOverride and .htaccess Support

 

AllowOverride is already enabled on all of our hosting servers. This means .htaccess files are fully functional and you can use them for URL rewriting, redirects, password protection, custom error pages, PHP settings, and all other standard Apache directives.

 

You do not need to request this to be enabled or make any server configuration changes. Simply create or edit a .htaccess file in your public_html directory (or any subdirectory) and your rules will take effect immediately.

 

If Your .htaccess Rules Are Not Working

  • Make sure the file is named exactly .htaccess (with the leading dot, no file extension)
  • Check for syntax errors by looking at the error_log file in the same directory
  • Include RewriteEngine On before any rewrite rules
  • Make sure the file uses Unix line endings (LF), not Windows (CRLF)
