Hi,
I see that the restored site doesn't restore the .htaccess file.

Is that by design? I checked to be sure that there was no single file exclusion. I see there the source .htaccess but I cannot get it in the restore.

(I actually upgraded to the 2.4.b2)
Thanks

If you use kickstart to extract your archive, it renames .htaccess to htaccess.txt during the extraction. This is by design because the .htaccess file can interfere with the restore process. Kickstart's final cleanup step should rename the file back to .htaccess and make it active.

There were some problems with the rename step in older versions of kickstart, but there have not been any reports of that lately. The intent is that at the end of the restore process, .htaccess should be named properly and active.

Hi,
thanks for your clarification!
