# BROWSER CACHING
# Make sure .ico has proper MIME type, allowing mod_expires to handle them.
AddType image/vnd.microsoft.icon .ico
# The expires module controls the Expires and Cache-Control headers. Elgg sets
# these for dynamically generated files so this is just for static files.
ExpiresActive On
ExpiresDefault "access plus 1 year"
# Conditional requests are controlled through Last-Modified and ETag headers.
# Elgg sets these on dynamically generated cacheable files so this is just for
# static files. Note: Apache sends Last-Modified by default on static files so
# I don't think we need to be sending ETag for these files.

# REWRITE RULES
RewriteEngine on
# If Elgg is in a subdirectory on your site, you might need to add a RewriteBase line
# containing the path from your site root to elgg's root. e.g. If your site is
# http://example.com/ and Elgg is in http://example.com/sites/elgg/, you might need
#
#RewriteBase /sites/elgg/
#
# here, only without the # in front.
#
# If you're not running Elgg in a subdirectory on your site, but still getting lots
# of 404 errors beyond the front page, you could instead try:
#
#RewriteBase /
# If your users receive the message "Sorry, logging in from a different domain is not permitted"
# you must make sure your login form is served from the same hostname as your site pages.
# See http://learn.elgg.org/en/stable/appendix/faqs/general.html#login-token-mismatch for more info.
#
# If you must add RewriteRules to change hostname, add them directly below (above all the others)
# hide all dot files/dirs (.git)
