.htaccess is blocking the content

[DeltaOS]

Hi there,

the .htaccess files in "comments/css" and "comments/agreement" are blocking the access.

I'd to rename them to get acces to them via the comments system.

Please, check them.

Hi,

I fixed this a few days ago. I applied the fix to the current version, v1.2.

If you re-download Commentics you should see the following in the .htaccess file in the CSS folder.

Code:

OPTIONS -ExecCGI

# deny everything
# <FilesMatch ".*">
# Order Allow,Deny
# Deny from all
# </FilesMatch>

# now allow just certain necessary files
# <FilesMatch ".*\.(?i:css)$">
# Order Allow,Deny
# Allow from all
# </FilesMatch>

Hi Steven,

that's the content of the .htaccess file but it doesn't work on my server/provider.
The same happens with the css files in the admin dir. The auth.php can not load the css files or the images (I made a little change on the source code to display the commentics-logo on the page).

What happens if you comment out the first line of the .htaccess file?

Code:

# OPTIONS -ExecCGI

Hi Steven,

it doesn't change anything.
Still no access.

That's strange. With all lines commented out, it should essentially be an empty .htaccess file.

Does your server not allow .htaccess files?

Hi Steven,

I just commented the 1st line out # OPTIONS -ExecCGI.
Nothing else.

And yes, my server can handle .htaccess files or es it wouldn't block the access to the dir when the .htaccess file is active.

I guess something in your rule is wrong.
I'll check tomorrow the internet. Perhaps I can find a solution.

Hi Steven,

I've checked the internet and then I replaced this line:

Code:

<FilesMatch ".*\.(?i:css)$">

with that line:

Code:

<FilesMatch "\.(css|CSS)$" >

Now it works.

What if you try to change the regex to

Code:

"\.(?i:css)$"

The regex from the first one looks correct to me though.

You might have to reload the page a couple of times.
