Does Joomla use htaccess?

Last updated on September 25, 2022 @ 8:10 am

There are a few ways to configure your web server to handle requests from your Joomla site. One way is to use htaccess files.

htaccess files allow you to specify rules for how requests are handled. If your web server supports it, you can use htaccess files to deny access to certain parts of your Joomla site, or to restrict access to certain users.

PRO TIP: There is no definitive answer to this question as it depends on the server configuration and how Joomla is installed. However, in general, Joomla will use .htaccess files if they are available and configured correctly. If you are unsure about whether or not your server is configured correctly, you should contact your hosting provider for assistance.

You should only use htaccess files if you know what you’re doing. If you’re not sure whether your web server supports htaccess files, or if you want to try a different approach, you should probably avoid using htaccess files.

conclusion

Joomla does use htaccess files, but you should only use them if you are familiar with how they work. If you’re not sure, you should probably avoid using them.
