HTACCESS is exactly for what?

Hello,

I cannot understand the HTACCESS root file purpose. Should somebody help me explaining its actual purpose step-by-step I would be very obliged. The file have some problems with my web hosting and I cannot find where or with what.

many thanks.

My HTACCESS is the default one which looks like:
#DirectoryIndex index.php index.html
#Options +FollowSymLinks
#RewriteBase /relative/web/path/

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d RewriteRule ^(.+) – [PT,L]

RewriteRule ^(.*) index.php </IfModule>

#php_value register_globals 0

It turns (rewrites) ugly URLs into clean URLs (ex: site.com/index.php?s=foo-section to site.com/foo-section/).
