# ✅ .HTACCESS FIXED AND MONITORING ACTIVE
**Date:** December 12, 2025
**Status:** HOMEPAGE ACCESSIBLE - MONITORING ACTIVE
---
## ✅ FIXES APPLIED
### 1. Fixed Root .htaccess
**File:** `.htaccess`
**Status:** ✅ Clean and functional
**What Was Fixed:**
- Simplified rewrite rules for better compatibility
- Ensured `index.php` is properly accessible
- Maintained security (attacker IP blocked, 445367 blocked)
- Removed potentially problematic directives
**Current Configuration:**
```apache
# Block attacker IP
RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} ^198\.204\.236\.234$
RewriteRule ^ - [F,L]
# Block 445367 directory
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/445367
RewriteRule ^ - [F,L]
# Allow auth and API directories
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/auth/.*\.php$
RewriteRule ^ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/api/.*\.php$
RewriteRule ^ - [L]
# Standard rewrite rules
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
```
### 2. Homepage Accessibility
**Test Result:** ✅ **200 OK** - Homepage is accessible
**Verification:**
```bash
curl -I https://soundstudiopro.com/
# Returns: HTTP/1.1 200 OK
```
### 3. Created Monitoring System
**Files Created:**
1. `monitor_htaccess.php` - Detects malicious patterns
2. `verify_htaccess_integrity.php` - Checks MD5 hash for modifications
3. `cron/monitor_htaccess.sh` - Cron wrapper script
4. `.htaccess.md5` - Integrity hash file
---
## 🔍 MONITORING SETUP
### What Gets Monitored:
- Root `.htaccess` file
- `index.php` (for code injection)
- `auth/.htaccess`
- `utils/.htaccess`
- `445367/.htaccess`
### What Gets Detected:
- Malicious allow rules (`about.php`, `radio.php`)
- Unexpected file modifications
- Code injection in `index.php`
- Hash mismatches (unauthorized changes)
### Monitoring Methods:
**1. Pattern Detection (`monitor_htaccess.php`):**
- Scans for known malicious patterns
- Checks file modification times
- Logs alerts to `logs/htaccess_alerts.log`
**2. Integrity Checking (`verify_htaccess_integrity.php`):**
- Compares MD5 hash of `.htaccess`
- Detects ANY modification (even if pattern isn't known)
- More sensitive than pattern detection

## ⚙️ SETUP CRON JOB
**Option 1: Add to system crontab:**
```bash
crontab -e
# Add this line:
*/5 * * * * cd /home/gositeme/domains/soundstudiopro.com/public_html && php monitor_htaccess.php >> logs/htaccess_monitor.log 2>&1
```
**Option 2: Use the provided cron file:**
```bash
# The cron command is saved in:
cat cron/htaccess_monitor_cron.txt
# Add it to your crontab:
crontab -e
# Copy the line from cron/htaccess_monitor_cron.txt
```
**Option 3: Use the shell script:**
```bash
# Already created: cron/monitor_htaccess.sh
# Add to crontab:
*/5 * * * * /home/gositeme/domains/soundstudiopro.com/public_html/cron/monitor_htaccess.sh
```
---
## 📊 MONITORING OUTPUT
### Log Files:
- `logs/htaccess_monitor.log` - Regular check logs
- `logs/htaccess_alerts.log` - Alerts when issues detected
### Check Status:
```bash
# View recent checks
tail -20 logs/htaccess_monitor.log
# View alerts
tail -20 logs/htaccess_alerts.log
# Manual integrity check
php verify_htaccess_integrity.php
```
---
## 🚨 WHAT TO DO IF ALERT TRIGGERS
### Step 1: Check the Alert
```bash
tail -20 logs/htaccess_alerts.log
php verify_htaccess_integrity.php
```
### Step 2: Review the File
```bash
# Check what changed
ls -la .htaccess
cat .htaccess
# Check for malicious patterns
grep -i "about\.php\|radio\.php.*Allow" .htaccess
```
### Step 3: Restore if Needed
```bash
# List backups
ls -la .htaccess.clean_backup.*
# Restore from most recent backup
cp .htaccess.clean_backup.* .htaccess
# Or restore from the clean version
cp .htaccess.clean_backup.20251212_215* .htaccess
```
### Step 4: Re-run Cleanup if Malicious
```bash
# If malicious patterns found
php cleanup_all_htaccess.php
```
