Turning off a security feature? WAT?
See, here's the thing. I'm a dev, not a DBA. I learned about .htaccess about 15 years ago for a project I was on at the time. OF COURSE, if I were to make a new project, I would re-read the docs. But in the back of my head, I already know about .htaccess. Do the current docs still have the warning about .htaccess going away? Are the prominent enough that my brain won't miss them?
Security is EVERYONE's job. If you do some ****** ** ******** like this, you've made my permanent **** list. The VERY least you can do is to check if the file is there, and refuse to continue if it's being ignored.
Asterisks because if Linux isn't permitted to call out radioactive waste for what it is, I'm certainly not.
