Softriva .com	Friday 02 April 2010 1:58:27 am what are these lines for in .htaccess <FilesMatch "."> order allow,deny deny from all </FilesMatch> <FilesMatch "(^index\.php\|favicon\.ico\|index_treemenu\.php\|\.(gif\|jpe?g?\|png\|css\|js\|swf\|html?)\|var(.+)storage.pdf(.+)\.pdf)$"> order allow,deny allow from all </FilesMatch>
Bertrand Dunogier	Friday 02 April 2010 2:35:54 am The first, FilesMatch "." will deny access to every file. I would by the way say this is wrong, since . will only match any character once... and it is not likely that we will have files with one letter names :) The next one will allow access to known ezpublish files, only the ones that can be directly requested from the browser.

Softriva .com	Friday 02 April 2010 5:19:12 am Should I remove the first part from .htaccess? Thx
Bertrand Dunogier	Friday 02 April 2010 6:08:24 am Nope, but you can fix it by replacing "." with ".+" Actually I need to start thinking straight: "." will match any file, no need for a + here, since there are no ^ nor $. So you can leave it as it is, it is correct. Bertrand Dunogier eZ Systems Engineering, Lyon http://twitter.com/bdunogier http://gplus.to/BertrandDunogier
