Forcing URL's with .htaccess -- problem!

[Anon]

hi,
i am trying to do what one of the columns here explains (building a web site with search engines in mind).

it suggests to use .htaccess in a folder where we want all the URL's to be enforced to use any single specified file.

i have placed .htaccess file under my 'hi' folder with following contents:

<Files index>
ForceType application/x-httpd-php
</Files>

above file resides in 'hi' folder and the script file called 'index' is also in 'hi' folder. But it doesnt force any url under 'hi' to use this script...

can anyone help me with this?

thanks,
Daarius...

Are you in Apache? What does your httpd.conf look like? Don't you need a line in there?

yes webserver is Apache. but i dont have access to httpd. that is why i am using .htaccess method instead of httpd, as the column explains.

believe you need to put that 'index' script in the document root directory and not the one you want to parse it.
