You can edit it  The content of the file is literally  Deny from all  which is an Apache directive  http   httpd apache org docs 2 2 mod mod authz host html deny

Deny from all    is an  htaccess command the actual content of that file you are trying to view   Not a denial of being able to edit the file  Just reopen the  htaccess file in the text viewer of choice and make the alterations as you so desire  save it  then reupload it to your folder of choice   Though I think inadvertently you are blocking even yourself from viewing said application once uploaded   I would do something like   order deny allow deny from all allow from 127 0 0 1   which will deny everyone but the IP in the allow from line  which you would change the IP to match your IP which you can obtain from http   www whatismyip com  or similar site

A little alternative to  gasp  s answer is to simply put the actual domain name you are running it from  Docs  https   httpd apache org docs 2 4 upgrading html  In the following example  there is no authentication and all hosts in the example org domain are allowed access  all other hosts are denied access   Apache 2 2 configuration  Order Deny Allow Deny from all Allow from example org  Apache 2 4 configuration  Require host example org

This syntax has changed with the newer Apache HTTPd server  please see upgrade to apache 2 4 doc for full details   2 2 configuration syntax was  Order deny allow Deny from all   2 4 configuration now is   Require all denied   Thus  this 2 2 syntax  order deny allow deny from all allow from 127 0 0 1   Would ne now written  Require local
