 # ExpressionEngine .htaccess/Apache conf #

 *Please use these at your own risk. I cannot be responsible for having no idea what I am doing and breaking your server.*

 This is a collection of Apache configuration settings that I use in my ExpressionEngine projects. Since I have always been a big fan of the [HTML5 Boilerplate](http://html5boilerplate.com/) I took inspiration from their [.htaccess file](https://github.com/h5bp/html5-boilerplate/blob/master/.htaccess) and tweaked my configuration with other settings I have used over the years.

 This gist contains:

 * **_EXTENDED.htaccess** This is a general .htaccess file I rename and edit as needed for each site. Note: When I host a site on my prad/stage/dev servers I move most or all of these rules into the vhost.conf file
 * **_SAMPLE.httpd.conf** I use Ubuntu on my development, staging, and production servers so this is specific to Apache 2 on my setup. Essentially this file extends the apache2.conf (in my setup).
 * **_SAMPLE.vhost.conf** I rename this to "domain.tld.conf" and place site specific settings in here.
 * **_SAMPLE.vhost-ssl.conf** Essentially the same as "_SAMPLE.vhost.conf" but with some SSL settings enabled to provide baseline SSL support until a proper secure cert is in place.

	# ExpressionEngine .htaccess/Apache conf #

	Please use these at your own risk. I cannot be responsible for having no idea what I am doing and breaking your server.

	This is a collection of Apache configuration settings that I use in my ExpressionEngine projects. Since I have always been a big fan of the [HTML5 Boilerplate](http://html5boilerplate.com/) I took inspiration from their [.htaccess file](https://github.com/h5bp/html5-boilerplate/blob/master/.htaccess) and tweaked my configuration with other settings I have used over the years.

	This gist contains:

	* _EXTENDED.htaccess This is a general .htaccess file I rename and edit as needed for each site. Note: When I host a site on my prad/stage/dev servers I move most or all of these rules into the vhost.conf file
	* _SAMPLE.httpd.conf I use Ubuntu on my development, staging, and production servers so this is specific to Apache 2 on my setup. Essentially this file extends the apache2.conf (in my setup).
	* _SAMPLE.vhost.conf I rename this to "domain.tld.conf" and place site specific settings in here.
	* _SAMPLE.vhost-ssl.conf Essentially the same as "_SAMPLE.vhost.conf" but with some SSL settings enabled to provide baseline SSL support until a proper secure cert is in place.
