Enable .htaccess in iBay
log on using shell (putty, etc.) with the root username and password.
login as: root
root@server's password: password
Enter the following commands:
(where: my_ibay_name is the name of the ibay we want to enable for .htaccess override)
[root@server ~] db accounts setprop my_ibay_name AllowOverride All
[root@server ~] signal-event ibay-modify my_ibay_name
Allow FollowSymLinks
When we use mod_rewrite to implement ‘clean’ URLs for site pages, e.g. /blog rather than /blog.php, Apache must be instructed to follow symbolic links with the following command entered into the .htaccess file (above RewriteEngine On).
Options +FollowSymLinks
An example .htaccess file would look like this:
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
# redirect all /whatever to /?page=whatever
RewriteRule ^([^/\.]+)/?$ /?page=$1 [L]
