.htaccess file access hardening and Website main folder is writable - Elgg 3.3.16


- .htaccess file access hardening Disabled
In the .htaccess file access to certain files can be blocked to increase security on your site. For more information look in your .htaccess file.

- Website main folder is writable Yes
It's recommended that you install Elgg in a folder which isn't writable by your webserver. Malicious visitors could place unwanted code in your website.


That two comments i got whet i go to /admin/security/information. I search on community similar topics and found some solutions. But its not work.
For now i got

htaccess code:

# Elgg htaccess directives

# Don't allow MultiViews
Options -MultiViews

# Don't allow listing directories
Options -Indexes

# Follow symbolic links
Options +FollowSymLinks

# Default handler
DirectoryIndex index.php

# REWRITE RULES

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>

RewriteEngine on

# If Elgg is in a subdirectory on your site, you might need to add a RewriteBase line
# containing the path from your site root to elgg's root. e.g. If your site is
# http://example.com/ and Elgg is in http://example.com/sites/elgg/, you might need
#
#RewriteBase /sites/elgg/
#
# here, only without the # in front.
#
# If you're not running Elgg in a subdirectory on your site, but still getting lots
# of 404 errors beyond the front page, you could instead try:
#
RewriteBase /

# you must make sure your login form is served from the same hostname as your site pages.
# See http://learn.elgg.org/en/stable/appendix/faqs/general.html#login-token-mismatch for more info.
#
# If you must add RewriteRules to change hostname, add them directly below (above all the others)

# explicity allow access for the .well-known directory
RewriteRule "^.well-known/" - [L]

# hide all dot files/dirs (.git)
