,htaccess file info please

[pwhitehead]

Can a dev post an example of what should be in this file now what i'm actually uploading this to my webhost. I never had to worry about using a .htaccess file cause i was testing on a local host.

Here is a copy of the default .htaccess

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On

    # Send css calls directly to the correct file VBV-7807
    RewriteRule ^css.php$ core/css.php [NC,L]

    # Redirect old install path to core.
    RewriteRule ^install/ core/install/ [NC,L]

    # Main Redirect
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !\.(gif|jpg|jpeg|png|css)$
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?routestring=$1 [L,QSA]

    # Because admincp is an actual directory.
    RewriteRule ^(admincp/)$ index.php?routestring=$1 [L,QSA]

</IfModule>

[AliMadkour]

It should be in your vBulletin 5 root directory.

It should be in your vBulletin 5 root directory.

public_html/vb5/core/vb5/route or just public_html/vb5?

[AliMadkour]

public_html/vb5

Also, you need to add this to your .htaccess:

RewriteBase /vb5/

right under:
RewriteEngine On
