Where are you reading that message?

Where are you reading that message?Not an error message! As I read various forums, it is often given as advice to solve various problems--mostly security issues.

I tnink Wiki helped you much.

Wiki is your friend!Wiki may be *your* friend, but it doesn't like *me* that much! I have read the article you linked to, I need to ponder it for a bit--then, I'm sure I'll have more questions.

Before you go off and plant htaccess everywhere, make sure you don't do anything redundant, since it is possible to cause an infinite loop of redirects or errors if you place something weird in the htaccess.
