Hey gunnar, I used the following in my .htaccess and it seems to work perfect. I tried to creat a test sitea nd implement it into the ring and still everthing worked perfect. When trying to access the db file I got error 403 access denied. :) It worked. so my questions is, does it matter if the first and last lines (below) are as they are or the <Limit GET> commands? <files *.db> order allow, deny deny from all </Files> --- Sir Anvil www.christiangamers.org
