Apache is a very flexible web server implementation. The .htaccess files give the webmasters the ability to override the default server configuration on a per-directory basis, provided that httpd‘s configuration pernits the overrides of the htaccess file. I am aware that there are thousands of cheat sheets (aka ready-made recipes) out there, mostly implementing mod_rewrite conditional redirections, but I decided to bookmark this article because it is very well and carefully written.

[Update]: Also, another resource of htaccess recipes exists here. I didn’t have the time though to go through all of their sections, but all .htacces rule examples seem very organized and well written too.
