Any way to know if .htaccess is enable?

Question

Hi,

any way to know if .htaccess is enable? I cannot read the httpd.conf file in my shared server.

I have access through ssh. My hosting provider uses cPanel Accelerated.

Regards

Answer 1

What about just putting a .htaccess somewhere which alters some readily-observable settings and look whether they have been changed or not?

Answer 2

Try uploading a sample .htaccess file (e.g. with a single simple redirect rule) and check if it works.
