Where to put .htaccess

[ChilliBoy]

Hi,

I'm trying to use a .htaccess file for a couple of things, the file is as follows:

php_value include_path "/home/folder/public_html"
DirectoryIndex index.php

Where should I put the file or should I use 2 ?
I upload all my files to public_html, but this is just one of a few folders in /folder/ - others include www, .htpsswords, public_ftp and tmp.

should it go in the folder /folder/ or the folder /public_html/

I *think* you need to put it in every folder which has files that the .htaccess will be affecting, although not sure.

Like James said you will need it at the root level of the folders that will use the directives, in your case I will assume it is just your public_html folder and any sub dirs under it, so you can put right at the root level of public_html

/home/folder/public_html/.htaccess
