Magento

I have installed on IIS and i can see app/etc/local.xml file in web browser? .htaccess is in the app folder and it says

Order deny,allow
Deny from all

Does this mean tha .htaccess is igonred when installation is done on IIS?

Is there any solution? keep in mind that the installation is done BY IIS.

Thanks

Yes, IIS doesn’t listen to .htaccess files. You need to block the file using the IIS URL rewrite module (available from www.iis.net), or through IIS request filtering...the former being the best solution. I am in the process of writing an article on the proper way to go about installing Magento on IIS 7/7.5 as well as properly securing it. I’ll post the article on this sight soon!
