You would just drop them in place, and they worked. I was having a problem with something, so I thought maybe there was an updated version of MAMP that would solve the problem. Sure enough, there was. So I installed it and went along my way. Then, I went back to the local version of my site, and it was completely busted.<\/p>\n\n<p>I finally tracked it down to .htaccess files being ignored. So I opened up my <em>http.conf<\/em> file and went down to line 378, and sure enough this is what I saw:<\/p>\n\n<pre><code>&lt;Directory \/>\n    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks\n    AllowOverride None\n&lt;\/Directory><\/code><\/pre>\n\n<p>In the older version of MAMP that I had, the default for this value was <em>All<\/em>. In order to get .htaccess files working in the new version, I just had to change <em>None<\/em> to <em>All<\/em>, restart the server, and everything worked normally. Just thought I would share in case anyone else runs into this problem.<\/p>","14":{"old_id":{}}}}
