I'm trying to search more information about the deletion process of the htaccess file in the Protected Areas -feature.

As far as I can see in the actual script(protect_delete.php) is only marking the htaccess-file to the delete status to the mysql-db. What script actually removes this htaccess-file?

I guess it follows the same pricinples as the system rebuild with rqst-mngr(domains are set to "change" and the rqst-mngr rebuilds all those domains). But what does the actual deletion in this case?

Hi Esni

have a look in the engine library "ispcp-htuser-mngr" - there everything about .htaccess and .htpasswd is done (read in db what to do - change in the actual files).
But a deletion is not done AFAIK. Only the lines are removed if something is not needed..

Thanks for the answer.

You don't happen to know which section of the file is taking part on deleting the content of the htaccess-file?

Could it be the section that starts with:
sub htuser_del_user_system_data {

not exactly - it has to be a sub with "del" in the name...

upd: the "not exactly" is the response to "if I know the section..." :-)

also htuser_del_group_system_data

del_user_... takes care of deleting the users from the file
del_group_... does the same but for groups

When the file is empty it is automagically deleted

I didn't see any unlink command in this file - but maybe I missed something...

I discovered some problems with the protected areas some time ago -> ticket #755
So when you analyze the file, you can perhaps also look for this errors.
