.htaccess Doesn't Show in Nitrous Container

We added a .htaccess file in our Node.js Nitrous Container, but it doesn't appear in our list of files, so we can't edit it and it doesn't work. When we try to make a new one, it says there is already a file with that name. Any ideas why this is or how to fix it?

Many Thanks!

Solution

  • There are 2 ways to view hidden files on Nitrous:

    1. Select the "Show hidden files" menu item from the file tree dropdown menu. The files should appear in your the tree and you can select and edit them.

    Nitrous Show Hidden Files

    1. In the Nitrous console, write ls -a to show hidden files. You can edit the file using emacs or vim via the console.
