I installed XAMPP software in my server. You can found it here:<a href="http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp-windows.html" rel="ugc">http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp-windows.html</a> . But yesterday I found that maybe the .htaccess haven't any effect. I put a file .htaccess with this content in 1 folder:<br />
------------------------<br />
&lt;Files &quot;test.php&quot;&gt;<br />
Order Deny,Allow<br />
Deny from all<br />
&lt;/Files&gt;<br />
------------------------<br />
But the visitor can still access into the file &quot;test.php&quot;. <br />
And a lot of another test, I think that .htaccess didn't affect any little to the server.<br />
What have I to do now?<br />
Thanks.<br />

Can't use .htaccess

A web server refers to the software that helps to deliver web content that can be accessed either through the Internet or through an intranet. The primary function of a web server is to store, process and deliver web pages to clients. The communication between client and server takes place using the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP). The most common use of web servers is to host websites, but there are other uses such as gaming, data storage, running enterprise applications, handling email, FTP, etc.
