## 🔧 WHAT WAS FIXED
### Issue:
- `.htaccess` had `DirectoryMatch` and `mod_access_compat` blocks
- These caused Internal Server Error (500)
- Homepage was inaccessible
### Solution:
- Removed all `DirectoryMatch` blocks
- Removed all `mod_access_compat` blocks
- Using ONLY rewrite rules (most compatible)
### Final Clean Configuration:
```apache
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
# 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]
</IfModule>
```
**This minimal configuration:**
- ✅ Works on all Apache versions
- ✅ Homepage accessible (200 OK)
- ✅ Security maintained (attacker IP blocked, 445367 blocked)
- ✅ Auth and API directories work

## 🔍 MONITORING SETUP
### Files Created:
1. ✅ `monitor_htaccess.php` - Pattern detection
2. ✅ `verify_htaccess_integrity.php` - MD5 hash verification
3. ✅ `.htaccess.md5` - Integrity hash (07da4a91eed24bfb72ba8a716fb83792)
4. ✅ `.htaccess.clean_backup.*` - Backup copies
5. ✅ `cron_htaccess_monitor.txt` - Cron command ready
### Setup Automatic Monitoring:
**Add to crontab:**
```bash
crontab -e
```
**Add this line (runs every 5 minutes):**
```
*/5 * * * * cd /home/gositeme/domains/soundstudiopro.com/public_html && php monitor_htaccess.php >> logs/htaccess_monitor.log 2>&1
```
**Or use the provided file:**
```bash
cat cron_htaccess_monitor.txt
# Copy the line and add to crontab
```
---
## 📊 MONITORING OUTPUT
### Log Files:
- `logs/htaccess_monitor.log` - Regular check logs
- `logs/htaccess_alerts.log` - Alerts when issues detected
### Manual Checks:
```bash
# Check for malicious patterns
php monitor_htaccess.php
# Verify integrity
php verify_htaccess_integrity.php
# View alerts
tail -f logs/htaccess_alerts.log
```
---
## 🚨 IF .HTACCESS GETS MODIFIED
### Step 1: Check Alert
```bash
php verify_htaccess_integrity.php
php monitor_htaccess.php
tail -20 logs/htaccess_alerts.log
```
### Step 2: Review Changes
```bash
cat .htaccess
grep -i "about\.php\|radio\.php.*Allow" .htaccess
```
### Step 3: Restore from Backup
```bash
# List backups
ls -la .htaccess.clean_backup.*
# Restore
cp .htaccess.clean_backup.20251212_215154 .htaccess
# Verify
php verify_htaccess_integrity.php
```
