hi,

just got few queries about the usage of .htaccess and errormessages.

1. Where do i put .htaccess file in root directory / or anywhere.

2. i have multiple sites hosted from same server spaces.
example
/foo ->http://www.foo.com
/bar ->http://www.bar.com

now i want to so different custom error msgs for both the directories is it possible.

3. What should be the permision of .htaccess file and also the error files.

In the 'web root' path, which is usually of the format /home/username/public_html

Maybe something like this in PHP


// If user comes to site with preceeding string "www." , remove it, not required
$httphostname $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'];
$hostname str_replace("www."""$httphostname);

$error_messages = array(
   
'foo.com' => 'Error message for foo.com site',
   
'bar.com' => 'Error message for bar.com site'
   
);

if (isset(
$error_messages[$hostname])) $errmsg $error_messages[$hostname];
   else 
$errmsg 'No error message set';
?>

Usually a 644 for .htacess, and also for the PHP script (error file)
