Unable to get .htaccess rules to have any effect

inspiredearth

Hi there,

I am trying to prevent front-end access to .ini files. I tried doing this via the .htaccess file, but none of my approaches had any impact. For example:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
   RewriteEngine On
   RewriteRule \.ini$ - [F,L]
</IfModule>

This had no effect.
I also tried:

<FilesMatch "\.ini$">
    Require all denied
</FilesMatch>

which also had no effect.

The server and site is using the default Apache2 server type.

What am I over-looking?

Thanks,
Jonathan

htaccess rules look ok according to this tester, so just to confirm the .htaccess file is in your domain document route public_html?

Other options may be to restart the site container via the developer tools to ensure nothing is being cached

Are you using apache?

Try this

Enable Rewrite Engine

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} .ini$ [OR]
RewriteRule .* - [F,L]

</IfModule>
