[HELP!].htaccess file for 2 sites under the same account

Post by jeff19090 » Wed Nov 14, 2012 1:50 am

Hi,

I have two different Joomla (1.5.26) running under www/ja and www/asterisk directories under the same account. I have placed .htaccess file based on this forum's FAQ under www as well as each Joomla home directory. The results are like this:

www/ja - everything works just fine
www/asterisk - only text is shown, no graphics, no script is running

If I remove .htaccess from www, both ja and asterisk sites work fine.

I then went on and modified www/asterisk/.htaccess to the one below, hoping to start identifying what is preventing asterisk site from showing up:

Code: Select all

order deny,allow
deny from all
allow from all
Still, asterisk would show only text. Can someone please tell me what is wrong with this .htaccess file under www that would cause this?

.htaccess for user/www :
