Unfortunately, have full access to files in ~user directory with .htaccess present. It appears to be ignored by webserver. When parent directory /home is set to "allowoverride authtype" in access.conf, (I copied htdocs configuration which works and changed the directory path) I get permission denied to access ~user even though ALL permissions in ~user and /home are set are to 755. Can access file directly through web browser by openning files. >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: Is this a problem with restricting access to the root directory /? Apache can't see /home even though it's configured in access.conf: <Directory /> Options FollowSymLinks AllowOverride None </Directory> <Directory "/home"> Options Indexes FollowSymLinks AllowOverride AuthConfig order allow,deny allow from all deny from none </Directory> >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: [In order for any reply to be added to the PR database, ] [you need to include <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> in the Cc line ] [and leave the subject line UNCHANGED.
