.htaccess Cheat Sheet

Over at The Jakol’s Den there’s cheat sheet for .htaccess that shows you some of the more common usages. For those of you who don’t know, .htaccess is a small configuation file that Web publishers running Apache can use to do all sort of neat things on their sites. The short definition from wikipedia:

".htaccess (Hypertext Access) is the default name of Apache’s directory-level configuration file. It provides the ability to customize configuration directives defined in the main configuration file. The configuration directives need to be in .htaccess context and the user needs appropriate permissions."

It’s actually much less complicated than it sounds. There is much more detail in the full Wikipedia entry as well as some common usage tips. There is also a whole lot you can do with it, so references like this are very helpful.
