You can put this globally into your httpd.conf or separately in every vhost configuration file you need it.

        ExpiresByType image/x-icon "access plus 1 month"

Make sure you versionize your JavaScript/CSS to be able to force an update, in case you change them.

Some Content
 
    <script src="javascript.js?version=1" type="text/javascript"><!--mce:0--></script>

You should also give newly updated pictures new names!

Over and out,

With the .htaccess file you are able to override some default settings like allowing / denying users to browse through directories. This is very useful when you use a certain directory to save for instance: templates, pictures, files or similar things (e.g. http://www.yourdomain.com/files).

How to prevent users from browsing through directories…

  1. Create a new file (txt) and rename it to .htaccess
  2. Insert the following string into your new .htaccess file:

    # DENY CLIENTS TO BROWSE THE CURRENT AND ALL SUB DIRECTORIES
 
Options All -Indexes
  3. Upload this file into the directory which shall be not allowed to browse.

Thats it!

So long,
Andreas Glaser (aka JaZz)
