htaccess corruption

  • Hi,

    I’ve been having a daily htaccess corruption and haven’t been able until now to find the cause… it seems that without wp super cache running, the problem never happens (I’ve tested for a couple of weeks), however with it switched on, I get this corruption about every 12 hours or so. Don’t know if it’s a plugin conflict, or whether it’s some of the advanced settings…

    I’ve worked around it by setting the permissions to 444, but just thought you might want to know!

    Oh yes, and I’ve changed hosts in the same period and the same thing happens on both hosts.

    Thanks, Dan

  • What does the corruption look like? Supercache shouldn’t write to your .htaccess file without user intervention so there’s something very odd here.

    It depends on the host… for my old host, the file would just blank out – even though there was a size reported. For my new host, it seems to break the file – getting 500 internal server errors – but the file is readable, however the supercache bit is missing. The size of the file is the same as it was before…

    At the moment, I’m quite happy just with having the file set to 444 – I have a backup copy ready to overwrite if something happens, but it seems fine this way. Not really wanting to test it again – although I have an hourly server monitor running, if I’m asleep, the site is down all night!

    I’m pretty sure it’ll be some kind of conflict with one of the other plugins I run, but it’s hard to know which one it would be and I have a workaround which is pretty straight forward!

    The good news is that yours is the only cache plugin that makes any difference to my installation – and it’s really positive.
