- # 38130
Steps to reproduce the issue
Update from Joomla! 3.10.9 to 3.10.10
Expected result
System should be working correctly and the .htaccess should not be altered in a bad way
Actual result
The website stops working. The .htaccess gets altered with new lines ending at "## End - Joomla! core SEF Section." the last line is now missing a line-break that forces the following line to be commented out. In our case the "RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www." which lead to an unlimited amount of rewrites like www.www.www. .
See screenshot of .htaccess .
System information (as much as possible)
Joomla 3.10.10
Additional comments

@brianteeman is absolutely right. Closing as not a core issue. If you need advice regarding your custom .htaccess file, please use the support forum.
This comment was created with the J!Tracker Application at issues.joomla.org/tracker/joomla-cms/38130.
Just BTW: JCH Optimize changes the .htaccess after any JCH installation and any JCH update. Even if you have disabled all JCH extensions.
Thanks @brianteeman for clarification.
And thanks @ReLater for the information. Then probably there is what caused the problem.
At no point in the update process does any existing .htaccess file get changed.
Whenever a change to the htaccess is recommended then this is done in the htaccess.txt file and a post installation message is published in the admin with details and instructions on how to MANUALLY make any change.
The last change to the htaccess.txt was over 4 months ago.
I can see from your screenshot that you are already modifying the .htaccess from the one supplied by Joomla. So whatever change is breaking your site it is not coming from Joomla itself.
