Also, really not a big deal but.. your subject implied that .htaccess is broken. Chances are quite good that it's simply your understanding of .htaccess which is flawed; everyone on this list is here because they're happy to try to help but it might be nice to approach the problem with the attitude "I would really appreciate some help figuring your awesome free software out" rather than "Fix your shit". --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
