Most software (CMS, Blog, Shop, etc.) requires a ".htaccess" file which has to be uploaded to the server along with the software.
The .htaccess enables you to change the webserver-configuration. The changes affect the directory in which the .htaccess file is placed and all subsequent directories.
Due to safety concerns we can not permit all possible configuration changes via .htaccess-file.
It is possible to simply disable the setting causing issues by commenting it out by placing a hash (#) at the beginnig of the row.
You can view and edit the file by downloading it and using an editor e.g notepad on windows to open it.
Please note that it is a hidden file and you might have to enable your ftp-client and/or operating system to show hidden files before you will be able to see it.
Following are a few examples of settings not permitted:
Examples of forbidden settings:
php_value memory_limit 64M
php_value upload_max_filesize "40M"
php_value max_execution_time 18000
If you require these changes or commenting them out doesn't resolve your problem please note the following:
The aforementioned examples are fixed values in your hosting package and can only be changed by switching to a different package.
