Topic: Main .htaccess Not Writable

Hi. I'm new to both Monstra and the world of coding.

There is a previous thread on the issue (i.e., http://forum.monstra.org/topic/33/insta … ng-mamp/), but I think that the instant problem might require a different solution.

I downloaded the Monstra .zip from the homepage, changed the UNIX Equivalent to '770' as specified in the documentation, and put the files onto the server.

However, I noticed that there was not a main .htaccess file. Several .htaccess files were wedged into the smaller sub-folders. I didn't touch them.

All of the checks during the installation process cleared except for the last one ("Main .htaccess not writable").

Should I ignore it, and install Monstra? Or, alternatively, how can I fix it?

Yes, but I do not see a main .htaccess file in the original .zip file.

Thanks, Awilum. I figured out the problem.

On the default configuration of Mac OS X, the .htaccess file is not visible in the folder.
