I have the same problem with .htaccess and .staccess. When i uploaded the RavenNuke76 to the server it tells me that server could not complete the request. When i delete the .htaccess and .staccess then i am able to start the installation of ravennuke76.

Shall i just delete the .htaccess and .staccess? , i deleted it in my last install and everything work ok including the sentinel. but im doing a fresh install again and want to really know what the .htaccess and .staccess is for and will it cause any complication in the future if i delete it.

What were the contents of the .htaccess and the .staccess?

This is what it reads.

Options All -Indexes
DirectoryIndex index.php index.htm index.html

# -------------------------------------------
# Start of NukeSentinel(tm) admin.php Auth
# -------------------------------------------
<Files .ftaccess>
deny from all
</Files>

<Files .staccess>
deny from all
</Files>

# -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Leave this block commented out unless HTTPAuth is NOT available in your NukeSentinel(tm) Admin Panel.
# This code is mainly for use with CGI Authentication and most servers do not require it.
# -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# <Files admin.php>
# <Limit GET POST PUT>
# require valid-user
# </Limit>
# AuthName "Restricted"
# AuthType Basic
# AuthUserFile /path/to/your/.staccess
# </Files>
# -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

# -------------------------------------------
# Start of NukeSentinel(tm) DENY FROM area
# -------------------------------------------

I see no reason why it should have stopped you, Perhaps its the way your server is handling the .htaccess.

Might I sudjest a more complete host?

I have my own Raq4 Server, what folder is the location of the http configuration file to use .htaccess??

Kinda misinformed the Options All -Indexes turns off directory listing it does not allow it so by not letting you set it is not helping security at all. They say they have it set server wide so you are covered but it is not true that it would be a security risk.. now Options All +Indexes would turn it on.

Anyway just delete that line and you should be fine.
