TCH-Tim Posted January 17, 2005 Posted January 17, 2005 My site here at TCH is hitting its one year anniversary so I thought I'd do some cleanup. Do I need the following folders in my /public_html/ folder?: _private _vti_bin _vti_cnf _vti_log _vti_pvt _vti_txt If I do need them, what are they for? Much thanks. -Tim Quote
TCH-Dick Posted January 17, 2005 Posted January 17, 2005 If you dont use Microsoft FrontPage to maintain your site you dont need them. They can be un installed by going to cpanel and uninstalling FrontPage extensions. Quote
thehighwaystar Posted February 3, 2005 Posted February 3, 2005 Holy Schnick! When you do this, it WILL whack all your .htaccess files recursively... fortunately it retains the files but renames them with numeric extension. It's up to you then to rename them back. Quote
TCH-Rob Posted February 3, 2005 Posted February 3, 2005 It is a good idea to make a backup of your .htaccess file first to prevent this from happening. Quote
TCH-Don Posted February 3, 2005 Posted February 3, 2005 Most anything you do in cpanel may change your .htaccess file. That is why I keep my own copy on my computer along with my cpanel backups. Quote
thehighwaystar Posted February 3, 2005 Posted February 3, 2005 Just to clarify for anyone else - It does not just affect the .htaccess file in your "root" directory, but also any .htaccess files that you may have anywhere else in your directory structure. I'm cool now though Quote
whoahorse Posted February 3, 2005 Posted February 3, 2005 Yup. Caught that. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Loved your blog! YR in Vegas looks like fun! Weezy Quote
