Ok, I added a index.php file to the help/directory. The browser now loads the page when pointed to http://www.devel.lyx.org/~leeming/www-user/help/ It ignores help/.htaccess totally. [EMAIL PROTECTED]:www-user->ls -al help total 6 drwxrwxr-x 2 leeming leeming 1024 Mar 23 13:00 . drwxrwxr-x 14 leeming leeming 1024 Mar 23 12:32 .. -rw-rw-r-- 1 leeming leeming 73 Mar 23 11:31 .htaccess -rw-rw-r-- 1 leeming leeming 93 Mar 23 12:54 end.php -rw-rw-r-- 1 leeming leeming 975 Mar 23 12:59 index.php -rw-rw-r-- 1 leeming leeming 533 Mar 23 12:54 start.php [EMAIL PROTECTED]:www-user->cat help/.htaccess redirectmatch permanent (.*) http://www.texnik.de/ (Syntax identical to that described here: http://www.webmasterworld.com/forum92/439.htm) Is RedirectMatch an allowable command in .htaccess? Hmmm. It appears so http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.1/en/mod/mod_alias.html#redirectmatch Any ideas? -- Angus
