These rewrite rules can be used if you don't have direct access to alter the virtual host configuration, which is common in a shared hosting setup. The file ".htaccess_root" is included in the installation package of your eZ Publish installation. In order to activate these rewrite rules in your hosted environment, you must change the name of the file to ".htaccess" and keep in the same folder as the original ".htaccess_root" file.

Please find an example of the ".htaccess" rewrite rules below:
