[NCLUG] apache .htaccess question...

[Joshua SS Miller]

This is the section you are really looking for.  If the AllowOverride is
set to None here you will need to change it to AuthConfig.

# This should be changed to whatever you set DocumentRoot to.
#
<Directory "/var/www/html">

#
# This may also be "None", "All", or any combination of "Indexes",
# "Includes", "FollowSymLinks", "ExecCGI", or "MultiViews".
#
# Note that "MultiViews" must be named *explicitly* --- "Options All"
# doesn't give it to you.
#
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks

#
# This controls which options the .htaccess files in directories can
# override. Can also be "All", or any combination of "Options",
"FileInfo", 
# "AuthConfig", and "Limit"
#
    AllowOverride None

#
# Controls who can get stuff from this server.
#
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
</Directory>


Hope that helps,


Joshua SS Miller
