Answer 1

If you are placing .htaccess file in project directory then use following code,

RewriteEngine On 
RewriteRule ^\.*$ /myfile/PHP/project/about.php

The code in your question only work if the .htaccess file is placed public root directory.

Also, to disable directory listing add following code (case-sensitive) in .htaccess file.

Options -Indexes

Answer 2

您必须将“ AllowOverride”设置为“ all”，并将此“ Options FollowSymLinks”添加到您的virtualhost或httpd.conf中
