hi. my sysadmin installs a stats program on each of my domains, but on this one i can't view my site.com/stats page because of the htaccess redirect. is there a workaround for this?
thanks in advance!

Inserting RewriteEngine Off in your .htaccess should do the trick.

that won't break anything? isn't the rewrite on for security reasons and that will disable it?

It'll break "pretty" URLs, but that's it. It's not a security thing, just an SEO thing.

thanks for answering. i'd like to pursue having both, however....keep the seo while still viewing my stats directory. is this possible? with ones and zeros anything can be done

Hi!
You only need that .htaccess in subdirectories of your external applications. It does not effect the SEO-ness of Serendipity itself.

please pardon my learning process
but are you saying that i stick a .htaccess file with the rewrite engine off under the stats directory so that effects only that directory while the other htaccess still works the same for everything else?
if yes, then can you please tell me the exact wording to put inside the stats htaccess file?
thanks again!

Hi!
Exactly - .htaccess files will only affect all subdirectories and files inside the directory where you put a .htaccess. So, if you stick a .htaccess in any subdirectory, the .htaccess of any possible previous parent directory will still apply to the files within that parent directory, but no longer within the subdirectory, because this has its own .htaccess.
The exact wording is:
