Thanks for the tip, farking! Found that we cannot rename a file to .htaccess, but “Save as…” works.

the trick is choose “All files in the” file type or save as with the quote “.htaccess”

Did you get system error? Hmm.Strange. Normally what I do is that after saving from a notepad, it would become .htaccess.txt

I would then rename it to .htaccess manually.

According to the link in the post, the author said Windows XP support filename with “dot” infront. However, it does not work for me.

I have been writing .htaccess on Windows XP Notepad.

In fact, I’ve just tested and it still works.
