Is .htaccess Safe to Change?
On some websites, we need to change .htaccess so that it rewrites the root URL so it displays a custom PHP page or a custom Hubzilla module.
The goal is that example.com always displays the home page without a redirect, such that the URL in the browser remains example.com. Also, it should not redirect to /hq when logged in.
Using the existing admin settings to set the home page uses a redirect instead of a rewrite, which is undesired. Hence the change to the rewrite rules in .htaccess.
I have a couple of questions.
1. Will Hubzilla overwrite our changes in the .htaccess file when it is updated?
2. Is there a better way to do this?
