How can I use a clean URL only in a subfolder of my website?

Question

Hi,

I have a web site http://www.mydomain.com Here I have created a sub folder http://www.mydomain.com/products. I want to change all the page inside the product folder as clean URL. I know .htaccess should be inside product folder. If it's enabled, will it affect all the parent directories and files of my site

I mean http://www.mydomain.com/ here, will it affect the pages here also.

I have one more doubt about .htaccess file, is there a way I can enable mod_rewrite through any code code without directly editing httpd.conf file

Please help me

Thanks

You place this line before any rewrite rules in your .htaccess file, which will switch on the rewrite engine - no httpd.conf change required.

RewriteEngine on

If it's enabled, will it affect all the parent directories and files of my site

The .htaccess file will only affect the folder it is in and any subfolder of that folder.
