Cancel Old Apache .htaccess File

[sven]

i have a .htaccess file in the root folder. i want to get rid of all teh changes it does in another folder inside that root folder. is there a way?

[XtremeMaC]

i didn't understand it.

its like: i saw the thing inside that thing and that thing was something

so could u rephrase it

i understand that u have a .htaccess in the root, and it does something to other folders?

I saw a CGI app that does this - manipulating .htaccess with specific controls for each file-folder graphically.....

If not found, or need more info, please PM me.

hum.. ill rephrase it

i have my website root folder "htdocs". inside theres a .htaccess file (using apache).

theres another folder "htdocs/Macbeth". the problem is that the .htacess file in htdocs still modifies the setting in the other folder (macbeth) because thats how apache works. i need a way to cancel the settings from the .htaccess so they dont get used in the Macbeth folder.

I got what ya meant, lol.

That's exactly what this app does.

good good, what is it?

its not to modify passwor stuff, tis to cancel the error pages, i want it to go to the default browser ones.

Hmm...

Got it done yet?

If you don't want to use external apps, then just make another .htaccess to put in your folder, with the exact opposite directives of the one on top of all folders. We could help if you posted what the _initial_ access file said, so that we could work out the opposite of it.

ErrorDocument 400 /errors/400.php
ErrorDocument 401 /errors/401.php
ErrorDocument 403 /errors/403.php
ErrorDocument 404 /errors/404.php
ErrorDocument 500 /errors/404.php

i want to cancel that and put it back to the default

[prathapml]

Ah, then no need of the CGI script that I initially suggested.

ErrorDocument 400 default
ErrorDocument 401 default
ErrorDocument 403 default
ErrorDocument 404 default
ErrorDocument 500 default

Does it work as wanted, now?

[sven]

perfect, it works. maybe i should work on my english to explain more clearly
