Using a .htaccess file on SME server - not recommended section added

===Using a .htaccess file on SME server - not recommended===
These instructions are added here for general interest. Users should heed recommendations in this article & instead use custom templates where possible to achieve the same end result.
The alternative commonly used method of implementing access controls or custom directives on a Linux-based server is to create a file called .htaccess in the directory you want to control, and include your instructions in that file.
To allow users to independently change web access controls (where this is permitted by the system administrator), .htaccess can be enabled for an ibay on SME server using the following commands:
db accounts setprop ibayname AllowOverride All
expand-template /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
service httpd-e-smith restart
The screen will display
Restarting httpd-e-smith [ OK ]
AllowOverride can be set to values other than "All", and should be set as narrowly as possible to meet users' needs. Consult the [http://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/mod/core.html#allowoverride Apache documentation] for valid values of this parameter. This is only required if there is a legitimate need for system users to independently change web access controls. If this is enabled, the system administrator should regularly monitor the contents of .htaccess files to ensure security is not compromised.
