Htaccess File Generator Added to the Web Hosting Control Panel

Publish Date: Thursday, September 13, 2007

ResellersPanel is glad to announce that new software is available in the Web Hosting Control Panel now. The software is called .htaccess Generator and its purpose is to allow the creation of some of the most widely used .htaccess file features.

Where is the .htaccess Generator?
The .htaccess Generator is located in the new Elefante Administration Tools section, available in the Web Tools menu. The new section contains also the Hotlink Protection and IP Blocking tools that were taken from the Elefante Marketing Tools section. You can create .htaccess files also by going to the desired location using the Control panel's File Manager and clicking the .htaccess button that is available there.

What's the purpose of the .htaccess Generator?
We developed this tool having in mind that you and your clients need to create .htaccess files. However these files are sometimes not functioning properly due to incorrect parameters. The new generator will create the files properly and thus will save you and your clients the time to contact our Technical Support whenever there are problems of such kind. Of course, we are always ready to assist in case there are any problems with malfunctioning .htaccess files hosted on our reseller web hosting network servers.

What are the features available in the .htaccess Generator?
The features are grouped in 6 sections depending on their purpose, as follows:

  • default index page
  • additional MIME types
  • authentication - allows IP and password authentication
  • mod_rewrite - allows host authentication, redirection of wrong URLs to other web server, redirection by language and blocking sites by certain referrer
  • custom error documents - allows the setting up of custom Error 400, 401, 403, 404 and 500 pages, as well as document redirection to a new URL
  • other options - allows the enabling of Server Side Includes (SSI), hotlinking protection and the inclusion of PHP in HTML files
  • How to apply the generated .htaccess code?
    Once the form is completed and submitted, the .htaccess code is generated. For your convenience, the code is displayed in a text box so that you may choose whether it would be better to add it to an existing .htaccess file, or to have the file created in the selected location.

    We believe that you and your clients will like the new tool, as we are always happy to make our web hosting services easier to use.
