Question

Can I use .htaccess files if my server is running ea-nginx?

Answer

Yes, you can use .htaccess files if your server is running the reverse-proxy version of ea-nginx, which proxies all content through Apache. Although nginx itself does not process .htaccess files for security reasons, Apache processes them via proxy, so they should function normally.
