What is .htaccess.addHandlerBak

Can someone tell me what .htaccess.addHandlerBak is. i noticed it in my www directory. I have a .htaccess file, which is empty, in my root directory.

.htaccess.addHandlerBak

It looks like it is supposed to be a backup copy, presumably created when an addHandler directive was added or was removed.

It is very likely it can be deleted. Move it somewhere else for a few weeks. Delete when you are sure there is no undue effects.

Oh, it's empty. just delete it.

Thanks. My .htaccess file in the root is empty, but this one contains my redirects, etc. So somehow the backup is running as the .htaccess file, I guess, because the redirects work.

I'm going to copy the contents to the real .htaccess file and remove the other and see what happens.

One time my server admin changed a wacky .htaccess file to .htaccess.bak Don't know if that helps or not.
