Reply To: ERROR: Deny All protection NOT activated for BPS Master /htaccess folder

Ok I am done and logged out now.  This is a host specific issue/problem with eUKhost.  The good news is the Root, wp-admin, Plugin Firewall and UAEG htaccess files and code are all working normally and not being ignored or restricted by eUKhost.

eUKhost is selectively allowing, restricting or ignoring certain htaccess code and files at the server level and it may be just website directory level restrictions for htaccess files.  The Apache Module testing htaccess file/code in this folder: /bulletproof-security/admin/mod-test/.htaccess is being completely ignored.  The Apache Module testing htaccess file/code uses every possible combination of htaccess code to find out what your server does and does not allow and since your server is ignoring all the htaccess code in that file then there is no way to tell what your server does and does not allow since all of the htaccess code is being ignored. In other words, the Apache Module testing code does not work on eUKhost at all.

Notes:
Since the /mod-test/.htaccess file and code is being ignored, but the Root and Plugin Firewall htaccess code is working normally on eUKhost then the only way to view the Apache Module Visual Test page is to deactivate Root folder BulletProof Mode and the Plugin Firewall. When viewing the Apache Module test page all test images are displayed, which verifies that the /mod-test/.htaccess file and code is being completely ignored by eUKhost.

Summary|Conclusion|Solution:
A logical solution is to create additional conditions in the BPS Apache Module checking code to do these things:  Create generic fallback htaccess files/code using mod_access_compat htaccess code for use in certain BPS plugin folders for hosts that restrict/block/ignore the /mod-test/.htaccess file and code and/or have directory level htaccess file/code restrictions.  Create a new System Info displayed message like:  Your host does not allow/restricts the BPS Apache Module Test.
