Response to: Can't create .htaccess file
>> You can't "cp htaccess .htaccess"? What sort of error message do you get? I dont get any error, just a return to the prompt ls -l only list a file called htaccess! I then tried resaving as .htaccess using pico which works fine, although I did confuse myself for a while by doing ls -l without autheticating as su and of course I couldn't see anything, this I guess was my original problem. Thanks Mark.

Ah yes, forgot to mention the most obvious. To see "dot files" in the Terminal, you need to do "ls -al", NOT "ls -l". The "-a" says "show all files, including dot files".
