    I get a message staying I need to move the htaccess.txt file. I moved the file but still get the message to move the file. What’s going on?

  • Make sure its not hidden. Via whatever FTP program you are using, enable the ability to view hidden files.

    Oh I have the FTP set to read hidden files. I have followed the DBManager instructions, but the error message has not gone away.

    You have to move the file and then rename it to .htaccess from htaccess.txt .

    Thanks for the info. I didn’t see the renaming of the file.

    I already have an .htaccess file in db backups so I can’t rename the folder to .htaccess. Now what?

    Nevermind

    the htaccess.txt file is missing and I have my FTP set to show hidden files, where is it? Version 2.50

    <Files ~ “.*\..*”>
    order allow,deny
    deny from all
    </Files>
    I got this file from an older version, It should work, PS I am using Ver WPMU 2.9.1.1

    Create an htaccess file with this in it:

    <Files ~ ".*\..*">
order allow,deny
deny from all
</Files>

    Place the htacess file in a folder wp-content/backup-db

    This should stop the error message.
    But didn’t stop the error message for me, though since everything is in the right place, presumably it is safe.
