I am finished with assignment 5. In reality, this assignment was not that difficult, but it was a bit boring. Still, I do see the usefulness of htaccess in controlling access to a website, redirecting, etc.
I probably could have stumbled for a lot longer had I NOT remembered Bill's trick of using a broken php file to discover the physical address of the root of my web space. Stumbling around and wasting hours when I don't know what to do is something that I really don't want, but that seems quite possible when working with computers. Fortunately, in this case, paying attention to one detail in the lesson may have saved me a lot of time.
Also, for some reason the file not found page did not display with IE but did display with mozilla. It seems nice to be able to control that aspect of the site, rather than being redirected to 000webhosts file not found page.
Did not track how long things took but probably around 4 hours today plus however long it took yesterday. Glad to be done.
