Windows explorer won't even let me name a file .htaccess on this development
machine, and, just handled rename, etc. in fileZilla, and it seemed to work
alright, but, yes, see cmd.exe handles use of file name.htaccess alright, etc.,
and, am not even running IIS on this machine at this stage.

Use the cmd prompt to move the _htaccess to .htaccess (or rename it). I
actually forgot how to rename files in cmd prompt.. Messing around with linux
too much I guess.
Xampp for Windows has no problems with .htaccess files if you can get them
into the filesystem. What has a problem with htaccess files, depending on the
server setup is IIS.

Think that's what my friend has done now, but, issue is that since I am, to a
certain extent changing directory structure, by adding folders later on
programmatically, it seems like the parent folder's permissions aren't being
carried over to them, or something, so think my friend has, for now set whole
site to allow certain levels, but, let's see.
Other issue with .htaccess files, by the way, is windows7 won't let/allow you
to do much with them - before you can edit them for upload to server, or before
downloading them off server it seems you need to make a copy of them with a
name something like _htaccess, and then download them, edit them and then
re-upload, and rename them - not sure why, but, while windows7 instance of
XAMPP doesn't use them as far as I know, it has an issue with a file even
having that name as such...<smile>
In windows explorer, tell it to create a new text file, and try rename it to
.htaccess, and windows7 will just tell you that "you must type a file name".

Jacob,
Off the top of my head, can't you make the change permanent using the
.htaccess file?
Best regards,
David.

Hi Jacob,
My memory tells me that Apache runs as a user called nobody. That user has
very little permissions. That is for security reasons. I'm not sure what the
best solution for this is in your scase.
Thanks.

Just posting this here in case someone has an idea about how to 'fix'
this/work around it - since haven't managed to find anything via 'net, or other
PHP specific mailing lists as of yet.
In that small/simple content-management-system posted about other day,
issue seems to be that while am continually/consistently setting output file
and folder permissions to 0776 - owner and group rwx, and public rw - for now -
using PHP's chmod() function, before and after trying to copy/generate any
output content for it, the server seems to be
consistently/dynamically/immediately resetting the permissions to something
slightly different, which won't let me then view/browse all the content.
Silly/simple example is that I will handle image file upload, and copy
uploaded image to a folder in a script, but, sort of immediately, that image,
and the folder it's in, and that one's parent folder are
invisible/unavailable/inaccessible.
Before I then run a sort of recursive script to again reset all content
permissions, I can't even browse the content via FTP interface - for example.
When generating output/static content, I am also then
consistently/continually resetting path permissions just before/after creating
folders and files, if necessary, and that seems to work, some of the time, but,
not for everything.
Am going to try it out on another server, just to try figure/find out if
it's a specific issue for this server/part of file structure, or something,
but, bit irritating thus far...<smile>
