I google on the net and found two approaches to redirect incoming requests to apache in Ubuntu OS: 1) using httpd.conf and 2) using .htaccess.
I am confused. What are the differences between them?
Please share if you know how.
Thank you!
The
.htaccess-file is meant to be used on shared servers where you don’t have access to the primary Apache config files. It is generally a better idea to usehttpd.confor your site config rather than.htaccessif you can as this has a lower processing overhead (as far as I know, the.htaccess-file is parsed on each request), but both ways work fine.
