Answer:

Where is the .htaccess?

It is usually in the root folder of the HTML directory (right next to index.php). Some operating systems and FTP clients hide this file since it technically has no name it is just a extension. For example the apple operating system will automatically hide this because it thinks it is a system file. Check the settings in whatever client you are using to make sure show hidden files is enabled. Also, it might not exist! It is not necessary for a web site to run in most cases. (For example a default word-press install does not include an htaccess file) It may be necessary to make websites do advanced functions, like custom 404 messages etc. If you can’t find it, try making one. Just make a file called .htaccess and add the information or code you need to it and put it in the root html directory.
