Contao 3.1 .htaccess for your assets/html directory

[Ruud]

It seems that for Contao 3.1 a change in the .htaccess will be needed for your images, css and js files to remain accessible. (basically everything inside your html or assets folder)

I am having trouble with about every extension in the repository on the 3.1 RC1, some don't even work anymore. So for everyone; if an extension doesn't work it may be that images, icons or other files are not loaded.

To fix this copy the .htaccess file from any core module (like newsletter system/modules/newsletter/assets/.htaccess) into the html or assets directory of the extension that doesn't work. Also rename .htaccess files in the root of the extension (system/modules/extensionname/.htaccess), unless that makes the extension unable to function again.

Contents of the .htaccess for 3.1.RC1 is:

<IfModule !mod_authz_core.c>
  Order allow,deny
  Allow from all
</IfModule>
<IfModule mod_authz_core.c>
  Require all granted
</IfModule>

Yeah, actually, this has been introduced in Contao 3.

Contents of the .htaccess for 3.1.RC1 is:

<IfModule !mod_authz_core.c>
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</IfModule>
<IfModule mod_authz_core.c>
Require all granted
</IfModule>

This new syntax is related to the new authentication and authorization control syntax, introduced in Apache 2.4 (see my ticket #5032 or the official announcement).

Yes, I had seen your ticket when first I first time encountered the problem 1.5 months ago. But this is a change that everyone must know about, so I thought introducing it in the forum will help most people as soon as possible.
