Is it possible to apply htaccess rules that are located in another directory.
for example
/folder
--|__ .htaccess
--|__ /htdocs
--------|__ index.php
the DocumentRoot is htdocs, while the htaccess file is located outside of that.
Can I access that htaccess file?
Edit:
.htaccessrules apply to subdirectories too, so yes, you can place the file one level abovehtdocs. The rules in it will apply.
