I dont' know if this helps at all, but just in case.

The reason xtdratings & facileforms stopped working is because of these lines in sef.php, once commented out everything started working again. Any ideas on why?

Code:

// if ($juri != "" && !eregi( "index.php", $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] ) && !eregi( "index2.php", $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] ) && !eregi( "/?", $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] ) ) {
 header( 'HTTP/1.0 404 Not Found' );
 require_once( $mosConfig_absolute_path . '/templates/404.php' );
 exit( 404 );
}

That code effectively prevents any attempts to use querystrings (or simply REQUEST_URI's with questionmarks in it) on scripts other than index.php and index2.php while in SEF mode, which is great for security reasons.

But... since we want to run the facile forms script with querystring data as well, we need to add a:

Code:

 && !eregi( "components\/com_facileforms\/facileforms\.frame\.php", $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] ) 

to the conditions, like this:

Code:

      if ($juri != "" && !eregi( "index\.php", $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] ) && !eregi( "index2\.php", $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] ) && !eregi( "components\/com_facileforms\/facileforms\.frame\.php", $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] ) && !eregi( "/\?", $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] ) ) {
         header( 'HTTP/1.0 404 Not Found' );
         require_once( $mosConfig_absolute_path . '/templates/404.php' );
         exit( 404 );
      }

And facile forms should work even in SEF-mode.

Hi,
Sorry for being a novice at this, but I do not understand how to fix my .htaccess file.

When I try to create a password protected directory on our website, I get a "File not Found Error". From what I understand this is due to a problem in the joomla .htaccess file?

Note that I am running an old version of Joomla (possibly v1.0.13) and I can currently not upgrade.

How would I rewrite the current file (see code below) to be able to use password protected directories?

TIA!!

Code:

#
# Apache/PHP/Drupal settings:
#

# Protect files and directories from prying eyes.
<Files ~ "(\.(inc|module|pl|sh|sql|theme|engine|xtmpl)|Entries|Repositories|Root|scripts|updates)$">
  Order deny,allow
  Deny from all
</Files>

# Set some options.
Options +ExecCGI -Indexes
Options +ExecCGI +FollowSymLinks

# Customized error messages.
ErrorDocument 404 /index.php

# Set the default handler.
DirectoryIndex index.php

# Override PHP settings. More exist in sites/default/settings.php, but
