Cant get file view etc working?

I am glad you enjoy our solutions!

I don't think that mosipov was replying to this thread, he might have mixed his tabs.

The best one to answer this question would be Wiktor, but if I'm not mistaken that file is placed there to avoid that even if some script is uploaded, then it isn't parsed by the server, but it seems that your setup doesn't recognize that directive.

You can think about the file as a second step in the security, so that if somehow a dangerous file is uploaded and the default security fails, this second step would avoid its execution. If you don't allow to upload any kind of file you should be safe. (of course it would be better if you can leave the file or instruct the server in some other way to don't run scripts in the uploaded files)

<IfModule mod_php5.c>
  php_value engine off
</IfModule>
<IfModule mod_php4.c>
  php_value engine off
</IfModule>

Have I created any problems by doing this?

I am concerned that I may of created a security problem or whatever by removing the file so any advice would be very welcome please
