The .htaccess file is a configuration file used on Apache web servers to manage website settings without access to the server’s main configuration. With it, you can enable redirects, restrict access, configure SEO-friendly URLs, set up caching, and much more—directly from the root of your site or any of its directories.

Many CMSs automatically create this file on installation or include a sample in the distribution.

If you're working with hosting, especially on Apache, it's important to know what the default .htaccess looks like for different CMSs. This helps you:

  • Check that everything is correct after installation;

  • Restore the file if it was accidentally deleted;

  • Understand what rules the system uses “out of the box”.

  • The server responsible for the domain zone is unavailable.
  • DNS is configured incorrectly on the device.
  • Interference from a VPN, antivirus, or firewall.
  • Issues with the internet service provider.

The accompanying error message may look slightly different in different browsers:

  • Google Chrome: «This site can’t be reached».
  • Mozilla Firefox: «Hmm. We’re having trouble finding that site».
  • Microsoft Edge: «Hmm… can’t reach this page».
