: .htaccess guide / examples / tutorials? Does anyone know of any good guides for someone new to editing and making .htaccess files. Anything about rewriting urls, directory access and passwording

Here's the wiki of serverfault.com
The howto's htaccess official guide
The official mod_rewrite guide


Two hints to help you doing the job faster:



Please try to use the RewriteLog directive: it helps you to track down problems:

# Trace:
# (!) file gets big quickly, remove in prod environments:
RewriteLog "/web/logs/mywebsite.rewrite.log"
RewriteLogLevel 9
RewriteEngine On




My favorite tool to check for regexp:
www.quanetic.com/Regex (don't forget to choose ereg(POSIX) instead of preg(PCRE)!)

You use this tool when you want to check the URL and see if they're valid or not.

How about the official documentation ? Next to that, this guide may be a good introduction.
