In other words i must rename the htaccess file in order to use the cpanel script installer for other scripts,because the script installer on my host does not like the oxwall htacess file for some reason that is why i must rename the htacess file to a text file until i install that script then rename it back to .htaccess, as far as the sub directory goes and putting in RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/??/ all the time is there a way to make all the subs that i make accessible without putting in that code in the htaccess file all the time?
