  4. (Pro. & Ent. Versions) - The current version of Stockbox Photo® contains a .htaccess file called .htaccess(stockbox) in the root directory. Therefore, if you have created your own .htaccess that has the RewriteRule and this file resides in the same directory as Stockbox or a parent directory, you will need to make sure the existing RewriteRule doesn't affect Stockbox's RewriteRule. If there are no conflicts you can copy the contents of the .htaccess(stockbox) into the existing .htaccess file in the Stockbox directory. If you don't have an existing .htaccess file, you can simply rename the .htaccess(stockbox) to .htaccess
