What does all this do?
If I entered domain.com in the address bar, then where is the entry page? I don’t think it’s public/index.php

It’s whatever is directed by DirectoryIndex in the server config file, the virtual host config file and the .htaccess file(s) in the path.

Where’d you get that garbage (WP’s code is okay once the <IfModule> and RewriteBase @#$% is removed) from?

Thanks for the advice. Whilst I understand the code is crap, I don’t quite understand how to change it.
However, I’ve washed my hands with the site that does that - so I’m not too bothered.
However, what do you think of this:
If improvements can be made can you explain how?
Could you especially say about the <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
The idea is for it to demand a server password and for it to always display the index.php file. Does it do this very well? If not, what would I change.
Thanks for your help.
<Files .htaccess>
AuthUserFile /path/.htpasswd
AddType x-mapp-php5 .php
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>

John,
How to change it? DELETE the <IfModule> wrapper lines (once you ensure that mod_rewrite is enabled). The reason you see this is that responsible software creators are protecting IDIOTS from server errors (mod_rewrite not enabled). That’s the ONLY reason you see that. If you’re not an idiot, remove the wrappers … simple.
As for the password, that needs to be within the protected directory.
Regards,
DK
