Public bug reported:

We currently ship a .htaccess with Mahara. I would like to suggest that
we shouldn't be messing with people web server configuration. We should
provide guidance as to how to configure it right (on the wiki already)
and issue errors and warnings when we detect that certain settings are
wrong.

The current .htaccess has a few problems:

- it prevents people from installing Mahara in some cases (e.g. http://mahara.org/interaction/forum/topic.php?id=2728)
- it assumes that people will be running Apache

** Affects: mahara
     Importance: Medium
     Assignee: François Marier (fmarier)
         Status: In Progress

** Changed in: mahara
       Status: Confirmed => In Progress
