For webmasters and developers, managing .htaccess files is a crucial task for configuring Apache HTTP Server settings. The .htaccess Editor is a free, web-based tool designed to simplify this process by providing a user-friendly interface to generate and customize .htaccess files.

Key Features

• URL Redirects: Set up 301 permanent and 302 temporary redirects with ease.
• Access Control: Limit access to certain pages or directories using Basic authentication, with options to generate .htpasswd files.
• Custom Error Pages: Define custom pages for various HTTP error codes (400, 401, 403, 404, 500, etc.).
• Default Page Settings: Specify default index pages beyond the standard index.html or index.htm.
• WWW Redirection: Normalize URLs by redirecting to or from the www subdomain, beneficial for SEO.
• Directory Listing Control: Enable or disable directory listings (Indexes).

How to Use

The .htaccess Editor provides a straightforward interface to configure these settings. Once you've made your selections, the tool generates the corresponding .htaccess code, which you can then copy and paste into a text editor and upload to your server.

Benefits and Limitations

The simplicity of this tool makes it accessible to users without extensive knowledge of Apache configuration files. However, it lacks the convenience of directly downloading the generated .htaccess file, requiring manual copying and saving.
