Using the .htaccess files
The Apache web server allows for decentralized management of configuration through
the .htaccess files placed inside the web tree. These files are specified in the
AccessFileName directive.
Directives placed in .htaccess files apply to the directory where you place the file, and
all sub-directories. The .htaccess files follow the same syntax as the main configuration
files. Since .htaccess files are read on every request, changes made in these files take
immediate effect. To find which directives can be placed in .htaccess files, check the
Context of the directive. You can control which directives can be placed in .htaccess
files by configuring the AllowOverride directive in the main configuration files.
Apache directory structure
After installing the Apache web server, by default, the following Apache-specific
