Sorry if you haven't had access
« on: March 03, 2011, 08:37:22 AM »
It appears I had inadvertently modified an .htaccess code and changed the redirects for the site.  :-[

I know nothing of Apache but cobbled together some code that seems to be working now?

Hopefully we have that issue solved and I'm wondering about the Firewall now. Hope it isn't too restrictive?

When I started the US Cleaners project years ago I paid someone to set it up and got screwed royally. Swore I would learn how to do it myself. The forum as you see it today is the result of my learning and experiments. I've gotten into and learned way more than I wanted to in the process. At least I have a clue now into the workings of a server, software, etc. Its been a slow and painful process for me.  :banghead:

The good part is that I'm going to use the knowledge for some other projects. Its good to know you have some amount of control and can fix/modify things when needed.  ;D

You've done a great job. This place continues to run strong with out any security problems. Seems all of our info stays safe. So, regardless of any hiccups we all encounter by you working on things. It's well worth it.

some htaccess have to be pretty loose when doing mods to the site. but, you have to change it back. mainly with wordpress themes.
Just to what I know and been told to do. I pretty much suck at tech... too old and mind aint not good as it yoostabee.  :017: it goes where??

I had to tweak the .htaccess a bit yesterday to fix some error codes.

Didn't know much about it but had to learn in order to fix the site.

I did temporarily shut down some features of the firewall. It really works good. Too good. It was blocking Google and all kinds of other "good" bots plus a bunch of members.
