htaccess file?

[Genestoy]

I have this htaccess file in my IPS forums directory and checking to see if this is the correct code? I am running 4.7.2.1 with PHP 8.0 - just trying to clean things up a bit since my board has been running for 20 years now and may have some "stray" stuff lingering!

Thanks

#Use PHP5 Single php.ini as default
#AddHandler application/x-httpd-php5s .php
#AddType application/x-httpd-php .html

That isn't a standard one, no. You can get a standard htaccess from your admin CP by visiting System->Site Promotion->Search Engine Optimisation. You will see "Download this file" on that page

Thanks a bunch Marc! I downloaded the correct one and uploaded it to my directory. Seems all is well.

Sorry my mistake - found!

@Daniel F Please some help - my htaccess is now like this

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^oldlibar\.website$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.oldlibar\.website$
RewriteRule ^ipb46\/?$ "https\:\/\/www\.oldlibar\.website\/" [R=301,L]

my what i download from my Admin cp is here

 

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
Options -MultiViews
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule \.(js|css|jpeg|jpg|gif|png|ico|map|webp)(\?|$) /404error.php [L,NC]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

How can make both in one or ...?

regards

You would add the bottom 3 lines of that top file, just below the "RewriteEngine on" part in the bottom if you wish to merge them. Note, we would not advise on any issues this may cause. We can assist only with the stock version, so this would be at your own risk.

@Marc Stridgen like here

 

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
Options -MultiViews
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^oldlibar\.website$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.oldlibar\.website$
RewriteRule ^ipb46\/?$ "https\:\/\/www\.oldlibar\.website\/" [R=301,L]
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule \.(js|css|jpeg|jpg|gif|png|ico|map|webp)(\?|$) /404error.php [L,NC]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

 

[Marc Stridgen]

That would be the merging of those 2, yes

Done - no problems

Glad to hear you're all set.

Does the most recent htaccess file override the php version set on your server?   Our database is set to 8.0, but we have several htaccess files, the most recent showing php 7.1.   It's time for an upgrade that requires php 8.0 and I want to prevent any conflicts before the upgrade. 

 

# Use PHP71 as default
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php71 .php
<IfModule mod_suphp.c>
    suPHP_ConfigPath /opt/php71/lib
</IfModule>
