I think this had better be made a little bit more specific. Having the permission to alter '.htaccess' files (that most users would have as long as they have shell accounts on the server) is different from having the permission to get what they put in '.htaccess' files effective (to be acted upon by the server). Even if their server is set up to use .htaccess files, their server can be set up to _ignore_ 'AddType', 'AddCharset', 'ForceType' directives in '.htaccess' while honoring other directives in .htaccess. (see the apache manual mentioned below). FAQ> If these approaches fail, you should consult the Apache manuals (see FAQ> attached links) or your server administrator. The Apache manuals at the end point to the pages on 'content negotiaton', which is not so relevant to this FAQ (although remotely related). I guess the following four pages have to be listed, instead. http://httpd.apache.org/docs/howto/htaccess.html http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/core.html#allowoverride http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/howto/htaccess.html http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod/core.html#allowoverride Jungshik
