i have installed scripts before no problem i thought..

myself i have unix apache ...

his server is unix apache red hat

all files seams to be working eccept one script that requires a .htaccess file.. and as soon i upload the htaccess and i do with the ftp client refresh directory the .htaccess file is gone ;-( is it hiddenor reallty gone?

the script contains path to the .htaccess but he can not read it as well

is this normal for linux redhat ..
can i not use files named .htaccess?
or should i rename them?

please help
