htaccess file removed was created by HBAGG
Hi
I have just had some issues on a website with URLS /links not working going to 404 .. and when I look at the security pro centre it says There isn't a .htaccess file concerns me as you helped me a few weeks ago and we generated a new one to achieve an a security rating.
There is also a malware report that public_html/.htaccess hashtag has changed.
Do I just generate a new htaccess file .. will that restore all the menu links?

Hi HBAGG,
Yes, you need a .htaccess file if you use SEF in Joomla. So just generate a new one from the .htaccess protection. If the malware scanner warns you about this file, add it as exception.

Because sites with mod_rewrite enabled (SEF in Joomla) needs an .htaccess file to work.But why have menu links broken
Check if Securitycheck Pro is configured to move files rated as "High" to quarantine (Global configuration -> File integrity -> Move to quarantine). If so, the file should be listed under "Quarantined" into the malware scanner tab. Just disable this option to avoid this situation in a future.why/how has it been removed?

Jose

I am extremely concerned about how my htacess file can suddenly be replaced without my knowledge . when I am the only one with access.
