Zinn® SEO how-to: Edit .htaccess and Nginx rules safely (Pro)

Edit .htaccess and Nginx rules safely (Pro)

Change your server rules with a syntax check, a backup of every version and an automatic undo if the site stops answering.

1. Open Server rules — Go to SEO, Tools, Server rules (.htaccess). You see the rules file your server reads.
2. Edit and check — Change the rules and press Check the rules. Mistakes are listed by line before anything is saved.
3. Save the rules — Every save keeps a backup. If your home page, login or admin stop answering after the change, the previous rules go back by themselves.
4. Put a backup back — Under Backups, choose a backup and press Put this backup back.
