- The order is right, otherwise you might forget to remove the comment on
  the left side of the die() command (that's security!)

- Even novices should at least know where their websites are located! That's
  just the basic stuff, sorry!

Of course, that's wrong. But come on, you speak some English, don't you?!
Everybody sees that the sentence above is not finished and therefore
continues on the new line.

BTW, all these basics should be clear for a server admin. That's why I don't
care about these 'nuts' you're describing here. This is a *server* and his
_maintainer_ should at least know some little basics of what he's doing
here!

nano is a small editor, the rest is just basic PHP stuff!

Your writing style is ugly, has many failures and generally doesn't suit to
a person who has just posted his 2nd mail and mournes so much about minor
bugs in a user contributed document!

(If you're lucky then Georg will read up to this place and will probably fix
the document.)

Basics!! .htaccess contains some rewrite rules, therefore you can be sure
that it would work fine if you used to load the rewriting module (and of
course, adjust AllowOverride in httpd.conf).

Please point to your phpinfo() and send me a link to where I can see the
resuls.
