What is Serendipity doing to the .htaccess file?

Post by Chris Desautels »

I've successfully installed Serendipity on a OSX server, but before I install it on a Linux production server, I would like to know precisely what the installer does to the .htaccess file?

.htaccess

Figured it out. The installer creates a .htaccess file in the serendipity directory, which is benign enough. I take it there's no manipulation of the apache configuration itself?

Thats right, Serendipty does not modify the apache config itself. Even if we wanted, it wouldn't be possible because of file permissions. Usually httpd.conf is not writable to webserver applications.
