x10s servers weird configurated???

[galaxyAbstractor]

I have this problems on x10 that I never had on any other hosts:

1. .htacces needed in every directory. Otherwise it wouldnt open index.html in a subdirectory/index.php in home directory. I always need to make .htaccess files when the index is a php file called index.php. And if I surf to a subdirectory I must have a .htaccess even if the index is index.html

2. Chmod. The chmod always get wrong permissions on forums/files. It automaticly changed on every host I had to 755 but here the files are always 644 or 000. Changing permissions trought some FTP programs is forbidden (cuteFTP pro).

3. blank pages.

I will still use x10 but this is kind of annoying when you have over 5000 files and ~10 different pages in subfolders.

Dunno too much about htaccess but i think there is something called inherit to avoid having to put htaccess in avery subdirectory.

Permissions 644 are more secure than 755 they should work fine for a forum.

644 never want's to load the images for me. So if I have 644 on my forums file my forum will only be plain text without any image.

Regarding your .htaccess, you must have one in your root directory that is making every other folder inherit the options. That is probably the cause of your blank pages too. There is no need to normally put an .htaccess in every directory to set index.php and index.html as the default pages unless you have something overriding the default settings of Apache.

Can you please explain what "inherit" mean and how I do it? Never heard of it:happysad:

You must have the htaccess in the root directory, this way all folders will have the root .htaccess configurations

inhert = get

I have the .htaccess in my root directory with the code "DirectoryIndex index.php" but it still only works in the root. Oh my fault! Just remembered the index was called bb3portal.php. *changing*


Everything works now. Still blank pages on lotgd...

Try getting help from the LOTGD creators. Since the original question was answered and you have the LOTGD in another thread I'm closing this one.
