 * In my yahoo wordpress I can’t upload .htaccess because it’s invalid filename 
   and no chance to upload it, so what is an alternative for this?
 * Is php.ini can replace .htaccess?
 * how to convert .htaccess to php.ini the code below?
 * *********
 * # BEGIN WordPress
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}!-
   d RewriteRule . /index.php [L] # END WordPress

 * See if you can upload with a different filename, especially without the leading
   period. Then rename the file. You’ll need to delete the original .htaccess file
   before you can rename the new one.
 * No, php.ini can’t do what you want.

 * I can upload by removing dot in htaccess but if i rename to .htaccess “Invalid
   filename”.
