Please let me know how to use .htaccess for my opencart store version 2.0.3.1, my store is installed in public_html.The present .htaccess contains nothing.Please provide me the all the necessary codes that are required for friendly SEO url and some more codes that are vital in .htaccess file with steps.It will be a very great help.
Thanks in Advance.
Please find the present .htaccess file in attachment.
Here is the default .htaccess that will enable SEO URLs, plus some added goodies for compression, caching, etc.

You don't have permission to access /admin/index.php on this server.

That is not caused by the above .htaccess
You mentioned you had an .htaccess above the poublic_html folder.
Maybe that is the cause

Allow from allSo you chose not to put the default .htaccess as I posted and added a load of other htaccess rules.
Unfortunately, I can only lead a horse to water, I cannot make him drink it.

Yes, just use the code I posted.
Remove all other code
Make a backup of your old file just in case you need it. It is however, not default OpenCart code that you had previously, so I am not sure of it's purpose or why it is needed, and is most likely causing issues.

Sir,
I did exactly as you said but the problem is again there when pressing the save button on admin panel to use SEO URL it is redirecting to my home page before showing the below error.
Server Connection Closed
Description: The server requested closed the connection before the transaction was completed.

Please also try a different web browser.
After checking your last error message, it seems it could be web browser related.
Also if you have a firewall on your computer, it could also be causing the issue.

I have searched regarding this issue found the below information should I use these .
1.) # If your opencart installation does not run on the main web folder make sure you folder it does run in ie. / becomes /shop/
(All the files are inside public_html should I use the below code after RewriteBase /
RewriteBase / mysitename)
2.) Options +FollowSymlinks
# Prevent Directoy listing
Options -Indexes
(What are these codes for and how to use them and where in .htacces file?)
Like This #before +FollowSymlinks or any other syntax.

If your store is in the root of your domain then it should be
Rewritebase /
You can try either commenting out the Symlinks line (put # at beginning of line), or adding it if you don’t already have it
