Hi there,
I really like WAM, :) have a registered current version, but I have struck a problem since updating to build 195. :(
URL: http://www.petermulcahy.com.au/
I believe the server is Linux based, I use a commercially hosted server, not my own. I found that Apache coding worked in the old .htaccess file, prior to the update.
Version 3.1 build 195
My original .htaccess file contained the following redirects and worked well with the earlier version of WAM:
ErrorDocument 401 /not401.html

ErrorDocument 404 /notfound.html
ErrorDocument 501 /not501.html

RedirectMatch 301 home/(.*).html http://www.petermulcahy.com.au/$1.html

Since updating to your new version these instructions no longer work.

The #### seems to stuff it up.
The current WAM generated .htaccess file reads:
#### CC BEGIN WEBSITE ACCESS MANAGER ####

#### CC END WEBSITE ACCESS MANAGER ####
and will not work with any other instructions in the file. I am having to use this at present in order to keep WAM working. But the web crawlers are going to penalize me pretty quickly if I do not get the redirects working again.

Have something to add? We’d love to hear it!
