Bulk Overwrite .htaccess file in all user accounts?

[Sujoy Dhar]

Hi ,

I have a got a nice idea about the .htaccess file optimization but I am unable to proceed.

I have one file .htaccess in my server's root location but I want to copy or replace to all the cpanel user's home location i.e home/user/.htaccess

If Any body have the solution I will be too happy to complete these task

.htaccess content for this thread reader also if anyone wants to suggest on this :

<IfModule mod_deflate.c>
    SetOutputFilter DEFLATE
    <IfModule mod_setenvif.c>
        # Netscape 4.x has some problems...
        BrowserMatch ^Mozilla/4 gzip-only-text/html

        # Netscape 4.06-4.08 have some more problems
        BrowserMatch ^Mozilla/4\.0[678] no-gzip

        # MSIE masquerades as Netscape, but it is fine
        # BrowserMatch \bMSIE !no-gzip !gzip-only-text/html

        # NOTE: Due to a bug in mod_setenvif up to Apache 2.0.48
        # the above regex won't work. You can use the following
        # workaround to get the desired effect:
        BrowserMatch \bMSI[E] !no-gzip !gzip-only-text/html

        # Don't compress images
        SetEnvIfNoCase Request_URI .(?:gif|jpe?g|png)$ no-gzip dont-vary
    </IfModule>

    <IfModule mod_headers.c>

Hello,

Replacing the existing .htaccess files is not recommended. These files may already include entries related to features offered in cPanel & WHM (e.g. MultiPHP, Redirects, Optimize Website). This is generally something you'd want to handle on a per account basis.

Thank you.

Dear,

I am respecting the codes inside the cpanel root and adding some other codes too for optimization thats why I need the command to run in ssh , if you could help me I will be highly appreciated !

Hello,

That level of modification would involve developing a custom bash script that searches for the .htaccess files and appending those files with a specific entry. I recommend reaching out to a qualified system administrator for help with this, as it's outside the scope of support we can offer:

System Administration Services | cPanel Forums

Thank you.

It looks like at least some of what he's wanting to include in his .htaccess files could go in Home -> Service Configuration -> Apache Configuration -> Include Editor -> Previrtual Host Include -> All Versions. Would that work?

 

[Sujoy Dhar]

Yeah @cPanelMichael will it work ?

Yes, that is one alternative and matches the steps referenced by another customer at:

Have gzip compression enabled for accounts on the server (including newly created accounts)

Thank you.
