Frequently Asked Questions

An .htaccess (hypertext access) file is a directory-level configuration file supported by the Apache web server. It allows you to override server-wide settings for a specific directory and its subdirectories — without restarting the server. Common uses include URL redirects, authentication, custom error pages, MIME type settings, and security headers. The file takes effect immediately when saved.

No. .htaccess is specific to Apache. Nginx does not support .htaccess files — all configuration in Nginx is done through server block files (usually in /etc/nginx/sites-available/). If you are using Nginx, you will need to convert your .htaccess rules to their Nginx equivalents. Many hosting platforms (e.g., cPanel, shared hosting) use Apache and support .htaccess. VPS and cloud servers often use Nginx by default.

Enable the "Force HTTPS" section above to get the correct rules. The standard approach uses mod_rewrite: check if HTTPS is off, then redirect to the HTTPS version of the URL with a 301 permanent redirect. You need mod_rewrite enabled on your Apache server (it is enabled by default on most hosts). If you are behind a load balancer or proxy, you may need to check the X-Forwarded-Proto header instead of HTTPS.
