Richard, Yes do read the article. It may clarify, and details a number of methods and their pros and cons. Using htaccess files with apache is only one of the possibilities discussed there. However the article seems to be written in French today. It was in English yesterday, honestly. I think there's probably been a mistake. I emailed the author to point this out so perhaps he'll restore the english version eventually. If you read French well enough it won't be a problem of course.
I won't try and go into all the potential issues here. But ask again if there is something particular that you want clarification on. Martin Richard Miller wrote: > Martin, > > Thanks.
