The .htaccess Maker only appears on servers which report themselves as being Apache. If your web server does not report itself as being Apache or if you are not using the Apache web server the .htaccess Maker is not shown at all. If you believe that this happens in error please try using the latest dev release from https://www.akeebabackup.com/download/developer-releases/admin-tools-professional.html The only difference of this dev release to the public version 2.5.8 is that the .htaccess Maker no longer checks the server technology and is displayed again for all users (even those running on web servers which ignore .htaccess files completely).

NginX does not understand .htaccess files. You cannot use the .htaccess Maker with NginX. I have written the equivalent configuration instructions for NginX but you a. have to understand what you are doing (no help is provided for this solutions) and b. you need to restart NginX every time you make a change in your NginX configuration. The master NginX configuration file can be found at https://github.com/nikosdion/master-htaccess/blob/master/joomla.nginx.conf
