Building an .htaccess file does not seem like a difficult task, and I
have uploaded one to the "root" of my home site (I know it is not the
"real" root, but I simply call it "root" as it is the main folder where
I have access to, i.e. www.elisanet.fi/matti.puputti/. Rather than being
religious, I try to concentrate on the issue in hand).
But the problem seems to be more on how to tell Apache to take account
of it.
Some tutorials I have read so far (yesterday and before) are telling me
to re-start Apache after updating the file. But I don't know how to do
the re-starting. Somehow it doesn't seem to make sense that a customer
of an ISP would have access to shoot down / restart an application on
the ISP server?
So I seem to be missing the answer on : "How to activate the new
..htaccess settings?".
And if the answer is "Simply upload the file, that's all!", then either
(i) my ISP doesn't allow me to use .htaccess, or (ii) some attributes of
the file are still wrong. Right?
